Hello,
I'm very new to this process so any help I can get would be much appreciated. Could you let me know what you think my chances are at the following schools?
Top3: Harvard, Stanford, Wharton
Second 3: Tuck, Booth, Kellogg (3 yr jd/mba)
Me: 24 yr old asian american female
GPA: 3.63/4.00 from a top Ivy (HYP) in fine arts
GMAT: 750 V-96%tile M-85%tile
GRE: 1590/1600 V-800 M-790
Job-Art Director
- I design museum exhibitions for cultural institutions such as the New York Public Library, Yale School of Art, Acquavella Galleries (a powerdealer in the art world)
- I also design company identities and marketing campaigns for clients such as Oxford University Press, and have done rebrandings for a series of architecture and non-profit organizations
- I also work with prominent contemporary artists, architects and critics as well as museums like the Guggenheim, the Museum of Art and Design (NYC), and the Museum of Fine Arts (Houston) to design catalogues and books
What I want to do: I want to start my own design/marketing firm post-MBA which would focus on rebranding and updating existing marketing campaigns.
I work in a very small firm--by industry standards it is a prestigious place to work because of all the awards its won. Because of its size, I have been given exposure to all aspects of the business, and the opportunity to actually watch my designs happen. However, it doesn't pay very well for all the time and responsibility that's required of me and I haven't gotten a chance to manage a lot of people because my boss has wanted to keep the designs "exclusively ours".
Will adcoms look down on this? Will my artistic background hurt me?

i think you are competitive for the top schools. if you look at harvard:https://www.hbs.edu/mba/perspectives/class-statistics/ it has a breakdown of pre mba profiles which gives you an insight. Dont give up hope!

I think you have everything going for yourself - or at the very least I'd say you have much more going for yourself than the 'average consultant' applying to the top schools. You have WE with business exposure, yet you will add an entirely different point of view to class discussion based on your underrepresented background. Asian American may even give you a minority bonus point. You pursue an MBA for the right reasons, you are young and your test scores are above average. With top essays, I do not think you have to worry about admissions for your second choices at all. HSW are challenges for everyone, but based on the little 'snippet' you provide here, I still feel you have a good shot at them.
