Hello: I'd truly appreciate a profile evaluation. I think my analytical and problem-solving abilities could bode well in management consulting. I believe an MBA would provide a more holistic and well-rounded view of business than that afforded to me within my marketing trajectory thus far. My first GMAT was (I think) a respectable 690, but my 2.8 UGPA represents a glaring weakness. That said, I hope my positive work experience and entrepreneurial record might overcome the latter (perhaps along with a slight GMAT improvement). While Kellogg would be a dream pick, I wonder if I'd be slightly competitive for schools including USC, IU-Kelley, Georgetown, Emory -- or (stretch) UNC, Cornell, or Duke. Appreciate any/all advice - thanks!
