Profile Evaluation [#permalink] New post   20 Oct 2015, 11:18
Hi Everyone!
I am looking to see if I am targeting the correct schools given my profile. I'm honestly confused since I seem to have a mix of great/not-so-great pieces.

Age: 25 years when entering

Nationality: Indian-American female (US Citizen)

GMAT: 710 (Q45, V42)

Work Experience: 4 years of finance at top 5 technology company (hires lots of MBA grads)

Extracurricular - Post college: Board of Directors of two non-profits

Extracurricular - College: president of a club, internship at the technology division of a big bank, biochemistry research, teaching assistant for multiple courses, etc.

Degrees/GPA: Undergrad degree in biochemistry with 3.8 GPA, Masters in finance with 3.8 GPA from top 40 university (not ivy league but one of the "new ivies")

Recommenders: both went to ivy league undergrads with one to Wharton

Career goal: product manager at tech company

Target list of schools: Columbia, Berkeley, Wharton, Stanford, Chicago

Thanks!

Hi there,

You have a very decent profile. Your work experience, extracurricular, academics and GMAT Score are good to apply for the list of B-Schools you have mentioned above. And you are in perfect stage of your career for applying for MBA program.

Berkley Haas and Chicago Booth are fine but Wharton, Columbia and Stanford can be a stretch B-Schools for you. I would strongly recommend you to seek some profile help for your B-School application essays.

You may also gauge your chances of getting admission to top business school by trying this amazing tool https://bit.ly/1C9o2Md

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Hey hey,
So I really like your profile!
You are female, with super strong grades, from very good schools. You have a Humanities UG degree and a Masters i finance! (yay). Your Career seems to be pretty good (although I gotta say here, I am totally lacking enough detail to evaluate).

So basically things looks pretty good. Good enough for Top 5? Hard to say without more detail from you... but let's say top 10-15 for sure.

And if you get back to me with more detail, I can think things through further with you.

Best,
Jon

Your profile is strong and with the exception of Stanford, you should have a good chance elsewhere assuming your application is done really well. The GMAT won't be your friend but with your GPA and work experience, it will not keep you out.

Those are the right set of schools and if you want to discuss how I can help you get in, send me a note! Scott@personalmbacoach.com

Good luck
