Hello all,
I am thinking of applying to part time MBA next year at Booth or Kellogg and was wondering how my profile looked.
Current location: Chicago
Demographics: 25 M Asian American
Undergrad: 3.01 GPA Engineering (top 10 program) GPA was 2.5 after my first two years, but had 3.5 GPA my third and fourth year. Did pass CFA Level 1 but pivoted to GMAT prep afterwards and didn't take any more CFA exams
GMAT: 730 (50Q 40V)
WE: 4 years at matriculation. Started in IT/Analytics and recently transitioned to finance at a well-known Chicago company
Extra Curriculars: Extremely involved in employee resource groups at previous company (multiple leadership positions and created fundraising/engagement events). Mentored high school students pre-Covid. Currently still trying to get more involved at current company's ERGs.
Goals: Network, develop leadership skills, and advance my career into management. I would like to stay in finance and am interested in transitioning to private equity or other finance positions. Additionally, hoping that the MBA program helps me explore where a career in finance could go.
Thank you all so much!
