Considering Top Business Schools

by bschoolseeker » Fri May 25, 2007 6:22 pm
Hi Stacy,

I've been planning on submitting applications this fall for my top-choice schools, which are University of Chicago, Harvard, and possibly Kellogg. Could you give me a general idea on my possibilities/weaknesses?

- GPA: 3.2, Double Major in Business Administration and Organizational Leadership from a very small Christian College in the Midwest (1200 undergraduate students).
- GMAT: Have not taken yet
- Big Four consulting firm straight from college, 2 years experience, just promoted. Had 2 great international opportunities in Asia & Europe to lead a technology rollout phase and training.
- extracurricular involvements: Lived for a summer in Zagreb, Croatia in 2002 with a group called Youth in Mission, a christian organization to assist in developing active study groups on christianity. Involved with Church group supporting a village in Ethiopia, taking a trip this October. I'm also part of the mentor program at my alma-mater.

Just wanted to get a sense of what my weaknesses will be and if I have the credentials to give me a fighting chance against my peers.

Thanks!

Pending a good GMAT score, I think you are a solid applicant. I do not see any real red flags - you have all the boxes checked. If you manage the application process effectively, I believe you can be successful!
