Hello, I have done this last year but wanted to update on my current status as a future candidate for MBA and I was wondering if anyone here can help evaluate my profile and what else to include in my next 4-5 years.
Demographic: 24, Korean, but will be applying for MBA when I am 28 entering at the age of 29.
Academic:
GMAT -Took my first gmat exam December 2019 and scored a 730 (Q 50 V 38 IR 5)
-Undergraduate: Baruch College, (Zicklin School of Business, 3.35 GPA, Finance Major), originally started at University at Buffalo but transferred over to Baruch. Low gpa is due to my second semester as a sophomore and first semester as a junior year taking a full time internship at the city as well as an 18 credit class course every semester. Eventually brought my grades up to a 3.89-4.0 every semester after not taking up an internship.
Internships:
LG Electronics - product management
Major League Baseball - account receivable
Fresh Direct - Financial Analyst
HBO - Financial Analyst
Vice Media - Financial Analyst
Full Time Work Experience:
Amazon- 7 months
Amazon Operation Manager at one of the biggest fulfillment center in the USA.
-Managed a team of over 200 associates, increased production rates of 200 uph to 300 uph.
-Managed operations of 53,000+ deliveries upon customer promise and operational deadlines and during peak season over 125,000+ deliveries were made daily.
-Trained and on boarded a 52% increase in labor force for the peak season
Amazon - 2 months
Promoted and transferred to a logistic operation station as an Amazon Logistic Operation Manager
-Working at a delivery station managing over 300 associates on a daily.
-creating and maintaining low cost in regards to labor and production
-planning and managing out routes for Amazon's drivers
Job wise should I start transitioning somewhere else or should I stay where I'm at and keep progressing for higher pay and experience. Would really like to start looking for positions towards product management and rotational programs for the next 2-3 years before my MBA. (Ex: Google's APMM)
Extra-curricular:
-Wrote and sold my own gaming guide book for players throughout the world
-Set up my own phone case business through Etsy
-Created a golfing app with a partnership with the PGA. Free app to use no profit and we have a community of over 18,000 users. Partnered up with a Licensed PGA instructor as well in England where we travel throughout the USA and promote the app use and hold golfing events and charities.
Post-MBA Goals:
It's still too early to say but I am interested towards the supply chain side of the business. However I am still interested in product management/consulting and would like to land a role at a MBB or FAANG later down the road. If not, a FLDP is always nice too.
Target schools:
HBS
Wharton
Stanford
Kellogs
Chicago
Columbia

You have an intriguing profile! On the academic side, I'd recommend utilizing the optional essay to address your GPA and retaking the GMAT to help offset it a bit more and make you more competitive for the top schools. It sounds like things are going very well at Amazon so far - see how things go in the next couple of years regarding project opportunities, support of management, continued opportunity for advancement and impact, and opportunity to demonstrate further leadership. Those, along with your professional recommendations, will determine the quality of your professional profile. You have some really interesting extracurriculars going on, especially with that PGA app - definitely communicate on your resume and in your application the impact you've made in the pursuits you'd listed.
Additionally, start researching your target schools - visits, events, conversations with students and alumni - early on. This will help you figure out which schools are the best fit for you and how to communicate your fit in the application.
Hope that helps for now - best of luck and definitely get back in touch around application time!
