In this live 60-minute masterclass, How to Get Ahead of MBA Recruiting Now, we’ll walk through the four biggest mistakes incoming MBAs make and how to avoid them so you’re not scrambling to catch up once recruiting begins.
I am 35 years old, and attending UCLA at Senior year.
First of all, let me introduce myself. I immigrated to the U.S. alone from South Korea when I was 29 years old. At that time, I was college student in California, but I could not continue my study due to the economic situation. Luckily, I could join the U.S. army, even though I was international student with MAVNI program. It was a great deal of luck for me to change my life. Actually, I do not have compelling and remarkable experience like people here. Before I came to the U.S., I quitted college because I did not feel the need to get a degree when I was young student. I did not know the importance of having degree. After quitting school, I fulfilled military duty in South Korea and worked in several unknown companies as intern or part-time employee in South Korea. Afterward, I went to Australia with Working Visa, then worked in temporary position as a farmer or cleaning man. All of sudden, I realized that I should find what I want to do in the future. In order to change my life, I had to do something. That's why I came to the U.S. to study again.
Up to now, I have encountered a lot of difficulties because of my poor English as first generation of immigrant, but I have overcome my disadvantages and will continue it. Of course, I still have some trouble in English because I am not a native.
I am seeking MBA to achieve my life goal. I want to make some background in the U.S. through MBA program because I have nothing here as I am an immigrant. My job in the U.S. army was Automated Logistical Specialist (92A), so I want to get a job in the field of Supply Chain or Logistics. My GPA in UCLA is 3.6 so far, and will prepare for GMAT soon. (I am majoring in International Development Studies, minoring in Japanese). My target schools are Cornell, Michigan, and Virginia. I know that it is extremely hard for me to get admission. But it is true that those schools havd world-wide reputation, tuition is free for veteran with G.I Bill.
Thank you for listening to my long speech.
I am really looking forward any advices.

minwooya,
You have a remarkable story, which the schools should be sympathetic to. Your age and early career setbacks will hold you back to some extent, but your military service (hopefully you have strong leadership stories there) combined with your UCLA GPA and a 700+ GMAT score should give you a good chance at admission to some of the leading supply chain/logistics MBA programs: Michigan State is ranked #2, Penn State Smeal #3, Arizona St. Carey #4, Ohio State #7, and Tennessee Knoxville #8. You should get multiple admissions from among these schools. Other top-ranked supply chain business schools where you might have a small chance include Carnegie Mellon Tepper (ranked #9) and Michigan Ross (#5). I'd be glad to help you with the process if you could share your resume: [email protected].

I really appreciate your reply. I know supply chain management in MSU is very good. I also want to challenge getting into TOP 15 MBA program if I can. I am also considering of schools you mentioned carefully. Thank you!
