Hello!
I am Russian, female, 27 years old
I have Investment Banking background – 2 years of working in Equity Research at large European groups (think UBS, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse) and 1 year of working in M&A at a large Russian bank (Top 1 in CEE). Currently, I work for an investment fund that specializes on large infrastructure projects in Russia. Overall, by the time of application I will have 4 years of working experience in 4 organizations.
I have a Bachelor degree in economics from a no-name university with 4.0 GPA. I also have a Master degree in economics and finance from top Russian school, but my GPA there is less than 3.0.
Regarding extracurricular activities, I lead an informational portal on history and current events at the Russian financial market and a Youtube channel where I upload my tutorial videos on Style & Fashion. I am also an active member of a charitable organization.
My GMAT is 710, TOEFL is 107. I also passed CFA level 1.
My post-mba goal is to work in investment banking in US or London.
I plan to apply in R1 2015.
The list of preferred schools is as follows:
1. Wharton, Columbia, Booth, Sloan
2. Berkeley, Kellogg, Yale, Tuck, Stern, LBS
3. UCLA, Darden, Insead
Could you please evaluate my profile.
Will my low GPA of Master degree matter for Adcom? Will the frequent change of places of work have a negative impact?
Thank you!
