I'm only in my last year of college, but I'm pretty sure I want to get an MBA. I know I need work experience before an MBA program. I'm a black male and will graduate with a BA in Economics with a minor in Global Culture & Commerce from UVA with a 3.1-3.2 GPA. My major GPA is around a 3.0 as well. I had a huge upward trend in my GPA, with a 2.5 gpa my first year of school and Dean's list my last two semesters. I have good grades in my Quantitative classes and upper level Econ classes as well.
My last year of college I will be a Loan Officer for undergraduate and graduate students at UVA as well for emergency loans of upto $600, and manage a $100,000 fund.
I am also working for a social networking site that I plan on working with after graduation with whatever work experience I have after college.
If I can get some good work experience (I haven't graduated yet) and can get a 700 on the GMAT, what do you think my chances are at the following schools?
1.Darden
2.Michigan
3.Chicago
4.Kellogg
5.Duke
6.NYU
7.Columbia
8.Wharton
9.Harvard
10.Dartmouth
If you can show leadership and impact at work and you end up with around a 700 GMAT (and the scores don't go up significantly form their levels today), then I believe you would have a competitive profile for all the schools on your list.
Harvard,
Wharton,
CBS,
Dartmouth, and
Kellogg would be the least likely acceptances, but you would have a chance at all.
Best,
Linda
