Hi, I'd like a profile evaluation request if you don't mind!
Background.
24 years old; African-American; Male
WE
- 3 years (at matriculation) at Fortune 100 Insurance Company . Spent 15 months in recent graudate Development Program. Promoted to Risk Management.
- graduated from a private school in CT (ranked one of the top 100 business schools in US) - 3.5 GPA. Major: Marketing, Minor:Finance
GMAT:
1st attempt: 640 47Q 31V 6.0 AWA
2nd attempt: 650 44Q 34V 6.0 AWA
Extracurricular:
- coordinated senior week graduation event in college.
- tutored elementary school students
- Junior Achievement school visits; Habitat for Humanity, golf tournaments
Post MBA
- i eventually want to run my own business. i want to concentrate in entrepreneurship, but I have heard this may hurt my chances of getting a job when I first graduate if I need to fall back on that and apply. Do you think this is true? Should I pick a different concentration to protect myself? I may consider general management instead.
Schools I'm Considering:
Consortium (ranked in preference): UT Austin McCombs, UC Berkley Haas, NYU Stern, UCLA Anderson, UVA Darden, USC Marshall
Non Consortium (ranked in preference): MIT Sloan, Northwestern Kellogg, Boston University
Are my goals too high? Don't want to take the GMAT again. I like UT Austin a lot. I would choose UT over all others except MIT and Northwestern. MIT/Northwestern/Haas/Stern are definitely my reaches. Boston University would be my safety. Are my 3 years of experience too low? GMAT too low?
Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance.
