Hello,
I just took my first GMAT today and was devastated by the result. (690: Q50 V33)
I would just not retake it if I got 700, but now I am very concerned if my profile is good enough to apply (and to be admitted)...to my target schools : CMU Tepper, UT Austin, UNC, Duke, USC Marshall, and Purdue.
Please see if, based on my information provided below, you can determine whether I am in a relatively safe zone or a No-No zone for those schools. (should I retake GMAT to be on the safer side?)
Thank you soooo much in advance. I will be looking forward your reply!
Career goals: To become a technology analysis expert. These days, determining whetehr a certain technology will become the next google (or the next new gold-mine) is important. I would like to integrate my science/technology background and skills I learn from MBA to be able to discern the commercial and technical feasibility of the emerging technology. (So I deliberately chose schools with strong engineering background)
I think this is important in Korean economy (I would like to return to Korea after my MBA or after post-MBA job), would like to go back to my company or similar industry to work as an analyst and a manager. But ultimately, I would like to be hired by the government and be a cabinet of advisors or something (am I going too far? maybe I am just dreaming).
I feel that it is hard for a woman to move up the ladder in Korea, unless she has a competitive edge and I would like to learn from MBA to become a powerful woman leader, become a mentor for future women in asian countries.
Background information:
I have graduated with MS(GPA3.7/4.0) and BS(GPA: 3.5/4.0) in applied physics from Purdue.
Work experience of 5 years in the leading semiconductor manufacturing company(in Korea) as a technical marketer.
My role includes communication with customers, project management, roadmap projections, trend analysis, cost-profit analysis and product planning and enabling.
Ethnicity: Asian woman. (nationality South Korean)
Some interesting extra curricular activities: Martial arts(black belt in taekwondo), used-to-be amateur snowboarder (won some competitions, once seriously injured and recovered but now is registered handicap), Social/community service regularly, took some photo shoots for company catalogs... =)
Let me know if I would have to retake the GMAT or just proceed with the application
