Hi,
I was wondering if I could get some frank advice regarding my admission prospects. Here is my current profile:
Undergrad: Gold Medalist from a mid-ranked Canadian business program (poor first year but significant progress during the next three years... graduated at the top of my class)
GMAT: 770 Q51 V44... don't have the essay mark back yet
Work Experience: None... just graduated, but will be pursuing the Chartered Accountant designation at a large CA Firm
Extracurriculars: Two club executive positions during undergrad and commissioned a charity with the aim to provide free tax consulting to low-income families
Prospective Schools: Ivy League business schools, MIT, Northwestern, and Oxford
Since I currently do not have any work experience, I was wondering whether I should apply after two years, or three years of full time work. I am also worried that my undergraduate background, which is not from one of the best business schools in Canada, will hinder me when I apply to schools like Harvard, Wharton, and Columbia. In terms of my plans for the coming years, I plan to: 1) Succeed at work (obviously), 2) Improve my French, and 3) Continue to involve myself in the community. If I stick to this plan, how good are my chances at getting into a top 10 MBA program? Thanks!
