Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
To me:
Male, European, German mother tongue, 26 years old
Academic:
I went to university over a bit a longer way, after high school, I did an apprenticeship at the local government (it's a particular thing in switzerland to get first job experience). After that I went back to school to get admission to university. There I study History and Modern Chinese. My GPA will be between 3.4-3.6 (Top 10-20% in Switzerland)
Professional experience:
I have done different things. Well first I worked for the local government. I also did an internship at a local TV-Show in Switzerland (The Voice of Switzerland), worked as a Pizzaboy, Forest cleaner, and I am now working in two start-ups of which one is doing in sustainable investments/wealth management and the other is a Data Science start-up. In both I work very closely with the founders. Both jobs started out as 4 hours a week (10%), but after a very short amount of time I was able to get more tasks and proof my reliability so that I now work up to 60%, with tasks including customer contacts, marketing, accounting, small python projects (for the data science start-up) and small-scale trading and portfolio-management (at the investment start-up). This tasks weren't in my contract, I asked for them (if that's of importance).
A leadership position is difficult to achieve because the businesses are still quite small.
Extracurricular:
I did two summer schools, one about Business and Human Rights and one about Chinese economy and business environment.
I am a fresh member of a student's run think-tank, which tries to tackle the tomorrow's challenges such as Artificial Intelligence, Digitalization, Climate change, Globalization and so on by organizing tasks with experts or discussion panels.
I am aiming to become a member of an entrepreneur club, which is helping young entrepreneurs to make their ideas into businesses.
GMAT/GRE:
I am preparing for the GMAT, but there is no score yet. I aim at 700, but if I need to guess correctly I would rather say it will be between 650-680.
My target schools:
Harvard (I just write it, even though it most likely will be silly)
LBS (For the Master in Global Management, a graduate told me my chances wouldn't be that bad)
Oxford Said Business School (For the Master+MBA 1+1)
Wharton
HEC Paris
Yale
INSEAD
Before I get bashed, I know that these schools are top-top and that my profile may not be a fit, not even a stretch. But I believe in improvement and I would like to ask you what I can do now during my studies (I still have 1 year left) to improve my overall impression and chances for admission to top-ranked MBA and Master in Management programs.
Thank you very much in advance for your help and time. Much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Marco
