- GMAT Score:700
-27 year old Asian female
-700 GMAT (47 math, 39 verbal, 6.0 AWA)
Education:
-Graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2010 with a Bachelors in Computer Science, Bachelors in Chinese Studies, and a minor in business administration
-Undergraduate GPA: 3.39/4.00
-Extracurricular activities in college include: Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority (was Risk Manager for one year), and many musical organizations (Kiltie Band, Flute Choir, University Orchestra)
Work Experience:
-Worked at Google from 2014-present (~1.5 years) as an analyst fighting ad fraud. I do data analysis but I focus especially on education and outreach. I create a lot of external resources for our stakeholders. I also have traveled to different regions and deliver live training.
-Past work experiences include working at Starbucks HQ as a business analyst (2012-2014), and at UBS as a technology analyst (2010-2012)
-Summer internships were at major investment banks as a technology analyst
Fun Extracurriculars:
-Yelp Elite for 5 years (very active in the reviewing community)
-Volunteered as fun committee and organized all the offsites and team merchandise for my team at Google
Why I want an MBA:
I originally wanted to do a business major, but couldn't fit it in with my other two majors. I liked my business courses a lot (especially my international business class) and have always wanted to learn more in a top-notch academic environment. I always thought that business acumen was a great foil to my extremely technical background. Getting an MBA will help me improve my leadership skills and business acumen so I can figure out how to drive my organization or company to greater successes. I'm always striving for improvement in products that I work on, and I want to be able to lead such an organization on a much larger scale. I'm interested in becoming a product manager, and eventually leading a team of product managers.
Schools I'm interested in:
Duke, MIT, Yale, NYU, maybe Northwestern?
Stanford sounds interesting but I'm not sure how my profile would rank
If anyone has any advice on how my profile is, and what schools would be a good fit, please let me know!
