Hello,
I'm a white male, 25 years old.
1. 3 years total work experience, 1 yr in internal audit and 2 yrs in biz dev at a major global financial exchange. No direct managerial experience as I am basically responsible for a dedicated client-facing section of the business on my own, but I have led projects with other team members in the past.
2. 710 GMAT. 88% verbal/ 78% quant
3. 3.36 GPA, Finance major from a northeast semi-target (think Villanova/ BC/ Georgetown type)
4. Extracurriculars- In college: 3 years playing club rugby, member of a community service fraternity, intramural sports. Led an economic analysis team as part of a real $ student managed equity fund for the school.
Post college: Active volunteer with an organization that mentors underprivileged high-school aged kids surrounding the college application process and early development of a career path. Heavily into organized sports in the NYC area and active motorcyclist belonging to two track-riding organizations.
5. Passed Level I of CFA
6. Long term goal is to get into investment management/ portfolio management at a firm in the NYC area. S&T would be a dream job short term, but I'm aware that MBAs are typically not a target for S&T desks.
My wish list:
Columbia
Duke
NYU
UVA
Cornell
Georgetown
UNC
Wharton
Vanderbilt
Michigan
I'd love to hear your opinion on which programs I would be a strong candidate for, and if there are any others that I should consider applying as safety-net schools to given my credentials and long-term goal of IM in the NYC area. I plan on applying to most, if not all, of these schools R1 with ED for Columbia. Thank you for your insights!
