3.99 BS/4.00 MS GPA in a five year chemical engineering program from a state flagship university of middling reputation. Currently about 36 months of work experience excluding lab work. I plan to apply next year, so about 48 months of work experience at that time and a bit over five years experience at matriculation. I lead a team of six instructors who each year collectively train over 1000 of the Navy's brightest junior sailors in the chemistry and radiological controls necessary to safely operate nuclear reactors onboard submarines and aircraft carriers. I am also responsible for the printing, storage, destruction, and revision of all said sailors' certification exams. I've been volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters for the past year and intend to continue doing so at least until I begin an MBA program. I'd like to get a role in management consulting post MBA with an eventual focus on the clean energy or pharmaceutical industries because of their alignment with my educational background and work experience. I don't have a strong preference on where to work post MBA. Chicago is appealing due to lower housing costs than a lot of the other major post MBA destinations, and I don't think I'd mind the weather.

Wow. That’s quite a score and quite a profile!

Great choice of schools. You can also consider talk because of its special environment as well as if you’re looking for scholarship money, Darden. However, GRE candidates tend to receive less of awards…. But usually at this point in time most people would be thankful for an admit rather than admit plus scholarship, but later as you are asked to whoop out your checkbook, scholarship starts start crossing our minds.

I think you have a fantastic profile and all of these schools would love to have you. The biggest question that David would potentially be asking is your client readiness skills and your interview skills. It sounds like you’re able to stand your ground in large settings. This is important for consulting recruiting.

PS. All of the schools measure your work experience as at the time of matriculation so currently you would be counted as a candidate with four years of work experience. That’s respectable but if you can score a promotion within the next year that would be even better.

Your GPA is amazing so that is nothing you need to worry about. My only advice for you for the next 12 months would be too befriend some of the current students and network with them to understand what it takes, what the priorities are and to set your expectations. it will make your application and experience much more successful.
