Hi Guys-
Here is my profile. I am taking the GMAT in a couple months and wanna see what I should shoot for (besides best I can possibly do). I have been averaging around 680-700 on the practice stuff.
School choices - HBS, GSB, Sloan, Columbia, Wharton, Kellogg.
Here are the stats:
U.S Citizen - Indian Origin - Male - 29 years old
Undergrad - Computer Engineering. GPA 3.4/4.0 - medium school (not top 10 )
Graduated high school when I was 15 (as though this matters anymore...lol)
11 years of work experience. Will likely be 13 years when I apply.
Published at several conferences (technology)
SUN - 3 years - 4 single inventor patents - Microprocessor Design, O/S design
I have been a serial entrepreneur for the last 9 years.
Founded Company 1: built to 500K in revs and sold - technology consulting
Founded Company 2: currently at about a $750K run rate - technology consulting - continues to survive and managed by strong operator. Might exit out of this company before applying to B-school
Founded Company 3: Infancy stage - no contracts
Founded company 4: Roll-up company in the technology space (currently serve as the CTO) - raised about $40m capital (equity/debt) - offices in East Coast , New Mexico, India, Canada - total of about 150 people in the company. $15m in revs - very profitable
Lots of venture consulting gigs in the last many years.
Actively involved in two very very strong entrepreneurial non-profit groups.
Founder of a community service organization that currently has over 100 volunteers mentoring kids in high school.
Wanted thoughts/opinions on what to shoot for in GMAT and areas that I can beef up over the next couple years. Sorry about the long post.
Thanks
