GMAT 700
target schools: Columbia, Simon (Univ of rochester), Chicago (it is a super huge stretch - but I really liked the program - based on the student body, faculty - academic bend and flexibility of the program)
my problem is that I have weak extra curicular activities. next to nothing -no leadership roles.
My job involves consulting/advising others but no one reports to me directly.
I am prepared to wait for a year but will my active participation in extra curicular activities begining now raise all kinds of red flags?
Job change is not a posibility right now.- hard constraints
My goal is to be in Industry Research analysis. Can you suggest any other schools with a strong finance programs ?
Also what else can I do to make myself an attractive candidate for a strong finance program (chicago ideally)?
thank you
