1) Basic demographic info: 26 (28 at Matriculation), Male, White
2) Educational Background: Finance - Major, Accounting - Minor, 3.0 from top tier liberal arts, 710, considering doing some language courses as those were the biggest contributor to the low GPA
3) Work experience: 3 yeas as a Financial Analyst at IBM (5 at matriculation). Held 3 positions so far, first was an entry level role, second was a 1 year role in Canada, 3rd was a promotion to a consolidation role as a dotted line manager of 15 FA's in 10 different countries. Plan on getting another role in 6 months time which would be a promotion later on down the line.
4) Extracurriculars: For the past two years have been a mentor to elementary school children through an IBM sponsored program. Spent a summer teaching water ski lessons for a non profit organization. Plan to participate in IBM's Corporate Service Corps which is a one month assignment in a developing country doing Peace-Corps type work.
5) Short/Long term goals: I hope upon graduation to get into management consulting, from there not sure.
6) Schools: The schools which I plan on applying to are Tuck, Ross, Johnson (Cornell), and Fuqua, with Tuck being my first choice.
I would appreciate any advice on things I could do to beef up my chances, basically I know I need to make up for my GPA...
Thanks,
Jason
