Hi there,
Could you please help me evaluate my profile for the following,
1. Dream: Columbia
2. Target: NYU Stern, Chicago
I am mainly interested in NYU Stern's full-time program. Here are my stats,
Indian/M/Consulting
GPA: 3.3/4.0 in Electrical Engineering from a top 5 engineering school
GMAT: 700 (49Q, 35V)
CFA Level 1
Work Experience -
1. 3 years experience as a consultant at big4 consulting firm specializing in Media and Entertainment industries
2. Entrepreneurship experience by founding a retail firm in Singapore during high school
Leadership Experience-
President of United Nations - Young Proffessionals group in my city chapter. Leading about 15-20 people in organizing events related to UN activities such as "Mine eradication in Mozambique" to "Raising awareness for Iran"
I am mainly interested in the NYU program due to its strength in the finance program and its strong links with the bulge bracket as well as other wall st. firms. My aim is to work for a bulge bracket IB. I think both my GMAT and GPA are a little short. Do you think giving my GMAT again would help? Does NYU look at giving the GMAT again unfavorably?
Please advise, and thank you for your insight!
