GMAT: 760 Quant 89% Verbal 97%

TOEFL iBT: 111

Work experience: 4 years army service, including 2 in management position (commanded a team of 20), 2 years of management in the homeland security area where I manage a team of 15-18.

Academics: currently finishing 3rd (and last) year of Psychology undergrad. GPA in the upper 10%.

International experience: I've been living, studying and working abroad since 2005. I also lived abroad as a teenager with my family for 4 years. so in total about 7 years of living outside of my home country.

Thanks a lot

Dear mleviko,

I think you have a strong foundation for a competitive application to these schools. It is difficult to gain admission without any full-time work experience after your undergraduate studies, but it appears you have some military experience you can leverage to demonstrate your leadership potential. Before you spend time working on an application for these schools, I would suggest verifying that they admit students directly from undergraduate programs. Once you have confirmed they do, then it is important for you to put together a strong overall application package.

Good luck,
Lisa
