Good evening.
I'm considering applying in the next couple of years to Columbia ED (I really want to apply to a finance heavy school a la Wharton, Columbia, Chicago, NYU). First question: Is Columbia's early decision pool usually stronger or weaker than the regular pool?
Profile:
I have only taken the GMAT once, with just a bit of prep, got a 660, 42/39 split. Had previously taken practice tests and gotten bw 720 and 730, so was discouraged by my results; plan on taking again before I apply.
Brief background: Currently Military Officer, work as a deputy budget chief for Air Force Base, a cross between a job as a controller and acquisition consultant, will have supervisory experience, and likely a deployment (or a one year tour to South Korea) under my belt by the time I apply to MBA school.
3.7 Undergrad GPA double major Econ/Supply Chain from Big Ten School; Economics programme study abroad at a solid school in the United Kingdom; AFROTC program - Full Scholarship recipient, Fraternity, multiple part time jobs including fundraising for the university and working in research centers in the business school, club lacrosse. Also currently working towards an MS in Finance and will take the CFA level one before applying to MBA school.
I know I should take the GMAT again, and I plan on it. But given my current profile, could you tell me where I stand? I'll answer any other questions about my profile.
