Hi Jon!
I am aiming Columbia EMBA, Stern PT, and probably Cornell NYC EMBA. Here is few detail about myself:
- Demographic: Korean, 30 Year-old, Male, nationalized US Citizen (Came to US in 1999)
- WE: 6 in total as accountant, will be 7 when apply next year. 4 years at luxury menswear company, and 2 years (and current) at cosmetic company. Both US subsidiary of very well-known European company. Especially my current employer is FG500 and # 1 in the industry. My current title is Senior accountant (Promoted just after one year from joining the company. Guess it's one of the selling points I can bring at interview?) and recommendations will come from manager and AVP.
- GMAT: 670 - 49Q, 33V, 4.5 AWA, 6 IR. The first try was with just one week of study. Managed time really bad with IR and Q. I am going to take another one after investing more time, and hoping to push it upward of 700.
- Education: BBA in Accounting at UMass Amherst. 3.4 GPA. Minor in Japanese
- Passed CPA exam, but not technically CPA yet due to 150 credit requirements not fulfilled yet
- Participate in several project outside ordinary work; Intranet accounting website development committee, on-site CPE class discussion leader, volunteering
My career goal after MBA is staying in corporate finance/accounting. Probably I will move to general management, but it still will be strongly connected with finance function of the company. In addition, I want to expand my knowledge to international business management and luxury business as well.
Hope you can enlighten my way!
Thanks in advance-
David
