Profile Evaluation/Very Indept MBA/GI Bill Analysis [#permalink] New post   08 May 2011, 15:32
Ok, here is my basic info. I have included a pretty detailed MBA analysis that takes into account my Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits. Hopefully other vets can criticize its considerations or find it useful. Thanks in advance!


1) Basic demographic info: 27, male, US

2) Educational Background: Finance Major, 3.3 overall/3.7 university GPA (have 4 F's that should of been withdrawls while I was in the Marines due to deployment ending my class participation, I cannot get the original orders to correct them), 700 GMAT

3) Work experience: Undergrads Spring 2012, Prior experience culinary school, 2 years chef/restaurant management, 4 years as an Enlisted Marine (Supply and Logistics), Fixed Income Analyst Internship at top rank funds, IRS Revenue Agent Co-op

4) Extracurriculars: Business Honors Program. President (FOR NEXT YEAR) Financial Management Assc, 2/2 first place finishes for our schools stock competitions.

5) Short/Long term goals: I want to move into trading or buy side analyst for asset management post MBA. Consulting/consulting analyst is a secondary consideration.

6) Schools: Which schools have you considered already? Any on your initial short list? Columbia, Booth, Haas, Stern, Cornell, Anderson.... please see spreadsheet

Thank you for the spreadsheet. Very extensive. Normally I don't think most applicants go into this level of analytical detail when assessing schools, nor do I think it is necessary. Nonetheless, I'm impressed.

Anyhow, not sure what you're asking for -- it sounds like you know what you're after, so it's just a matter of letting the spreadsheet be, and directing your energy towards the applications when they come out later this summer, and doing the best you can on them. Good luck

Sorry to confuse. The spreadsheet is kind of ancillary, just to show schools I am interested. Just looking for general profile evaluation. Anything I need to go deeper into please let me know.

I think you're targeting the right range of schools, so you should have a reasonable shot of getting into at least some of them (few people get into *all* the schools they apply to, given how much of a crapshoot it can be). Just disclose what happened with the F's (no need to spin anything, just state it in plain English as you have nothing to hide) and do the best you can on the applications.
