Hello,
I am a senior at a top 4 university (HYPS) majoring in Mathematics with a strictly applied focus (think Quant Finance rather than real analysis)
My practice GMAT is 640 (higher math than verbal), never studied for it, but I have plenty time.
I recently got accepted for a job that pays for my MBA so I want to do my MBA at Stern to help my management/entrepreneur skills (not a career lateral or shift, just general interest in learning). The job is in management.
GPA is 3.85.
My experience is a mix of finance internships like Trading, personal independent businesses, on campus jobs (legit jobs not McDonald type jobs).
Extra curricular are average, nothing spectacular but still show some involvement.
Work experience is weak, as obviously I do not have a full time job.
Also, I am a URM (black) if that helps.
Please chance me, Thanks!
What job did you get? I recommend getting some work experience before applying to Stern. You have a nice profile, especially if you raise for GMAT score but it isn't advised to apply without work experience. Even if you go for one or two years, you can apply in as little as a few months but you want some experience. Ideally you have a few years before you consider it.
Reach out if you want more help preparing yourself so you have the best application once the time comes.
Best,
Scott
