Where do I stand?

by preetsingh26 » Tue Jul 09, 2013 3:17 pm
Hello All,

So I am very confused on where I should apply and where my application stands vs. other folks. Let me give you the quick gist of it:

School: California State University Sacramento

GPA: 3.6 Cum Laude Honors

Degree: Business Admin with Accountancy Concentration

GMAT: Currently studying for it via Manhattan, OG 13, and the 60 day guide. So far it has been easy and everything from my earlier math classes is coming back to me. I am thinking my score will be 600+ (fingers crossed).

Work Experience: Working at one of the Big 4 accounting firms. I interned my junior year in college for 2 months at the same Big 4 and was offered a full time position for after graduation. Thus, I have been working since graduation. Since I hope to apply this December, 2013, I will have 18 months of experience at a Big 4 by then and 22-24 months by the time I hope to start school. Also, before joining the Big 4, I ran one of the family restaurants and have been helping my dad while the Company grows. We have expanded from 1 restaurant to 16 and I have been helping in one way or another during this expansion. Lastly, during my senior year in college, the family business ventured into real estate and again I played a role in this company.

So where do you guys think I have a chance of getting into??

Thank you in advance! �
