Hi everyone. I appreciate any suggestions and comments regarding my profile evaluation.
Personal: Asian male, 24 years old
Undergraduate: 3.5/4.0, top 10 undergraduate business school; Spring 2009
Work Experience: Consulting at a big four accounting firm since Fall 2009. Primarily performing quantitative analysis, such as validating financial models and valuing derivatives
GMAT: 730 (V44, Q47)
Activities: Volunteer program, clubs during undergraduate studies
Objective: Business development at Fortune 500 company
Targets: Finance program at Berkeley, MIT, UCLA, Wharton, Yale (any additional programs/schools I should consider?)
One big question I have is regarding when to apply. It sounds as though a lot of people go through the application process twice. If I apply this year, I’ll only have two years of working experience, and so I’m not sure if that will be looked upon favorably. On the other hand, if I wait until next year to apply and don’t get accepted, I will have to wait until five years after I’ve graduated from undergraduate (five years working experience) to apply again.
Any feedback and questions are greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.
