Hi - thanks for taking the time. I'm submitting this profile evaluation request to kick-off my business school application process.
GMAT: 710 (45 Q, 41 V), 6 AWA, 8 IR
Undergraduate: Economics major at a top three public university (U.S.); graduated almost a year early if that's of any significance
GPA: 3.66
Work experience: Two years at a top, but niche, investment banking group; two years at a leading high-yield credit fund; fund has a track record of sending associates to Harvard (and Columbia, to a lesser extent)
Other information: 26 years old (at matriculation); male; extracurricular activities include guest lecturing at my alma mater and mentoring underprivileged high school students
Post-MBA goal: Strategic finance role at a major tech firm (e.g., Google, Apple, Amazon) or a global retail/apparel company (e.g., Nike, LVMH)
Schools considering: Harvard, Stanford, Columbia; round one for all schools
A few questions: How realistic are the schools I'm considering? Would applying to Columbia via early decision drastically improve my odds? What other schools should I be considering with my profile and post-MBA goal?
Thanks so much.
