Dear
Aringo Team,
I want to apply to the 3 spanish Business Schools (IESE, IE, ESADE) for the 2016 intake. For IESE I want to catch the R2 deadline on January 4.
Quick facts:
- GMAT single attempt 640 (Q38 V39 AWA 5.0 IR 7)
- German male, 29 years, 4 years work experience after graduation
- German Diploma (equivalent to Master) in "Business Engineering for Maritime Transport", that is Nautical Studies. Required to drive large cargo or passenger ships first as an Officer, later as a Captain. German Scale 1.6 ("good") which converts to GPA 3.9 .
- Active sea career on cargo ships and currently on a passenger vessel
- So far 3 promotions: Apprentice Officer, 3rd Officer, 2nd Officer, Safety Officer (Chief Officer)
- Leadership experiences in all positions; now leading 160 crew members in relation to ship emergency procedures and safety (other heads of departments organize their daily work routines)
- 3rd position in the ship's command after Captain and Staff Captain on a 144 m worldwide operating cruise ship for 350 passengers.
- Will achieve the Master Mariner License within the next contract, that is the permit to handle every ship worldwide, without restrictions, as a captain.
Short term goal: Transition into the upper shoreside management of a large company that has strings to the maritime sector. Examples that are based in my hometown Hamburg would be Siemens, ThyssenKrupp Marine, DNV-GL (world's largest classification society) or one of the numerous shipping companies such as Hamburg Süd, Hapag Lloyd or Maersk (international).
Long term goal: After a few years of economic experience I would like to take over the management of our family business, a maritime ship supplier. I want to use the business education and following experience to be able to make an impact there.
Extracurricular Activities:
- Contributed to the development of Sea Traffic Management at the European Union co-financed MONALISA 2.0 project. Actively evaluated new concepts via the European Maritime Simulator Network with the Fraunhofer Center of Maritime Logistics at the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg.
- Member of the University Student Body 2009-2010
- High School Student Representative 2005-2006
Please kindly evaluate my chances for admission.
