GMAT 700 (49Q/36V)..studying for a retake
Education:
Academy Grad (2007)- 3.25/Systems Engineering
-GPA steadily increased over time-under 2.5 first semester (I've heard that helps -- is that true?)
-Big Brother Big Sister and Special Olympics
UTEP Masters (2011)-4.0/Leadership (tried to nullify my low undergrad GPA)
Career (Air Defense Officer):
1st assignment:
Lived in Germany for three years where I had a couple of different
leadership positions (lead 35+ Soldiers for a year and second in command of 140+ Soldiers for a year. Also responsible for 40+ million dollars worth of equipment)
3rd year- Lead officer for establishing the US's joint missile defense program with Poland
2nd assignment:
Worked as an instructor at the University of Alabama ROTC for a year
(compassionate reassignment-father was in the hospital for an extended period of time)
Currently working in DC for 6 months where I have 40 employees, both military and civilian, working on my team.
Why I'm applying with 8 years time in service (I've heard 6+ years military service is frowned upon)- signed up for a Grad School option upon graduation from West Point that extends one's commitment to 8 years. At the time I planned on staying in the Army, but my Dad's illness shaped 2+ years of my Army career and honestly put me behind my peers in regards to key jobs for promotion (not planning on explaining this too much, but that's the reason why I'm an older applicant)
Post MBA: Aerospace and Defense consultant with Bain (I honestly don't know what field I want to go into exactly, but given my background, it allows me to tell an interesting story)
Other/Hobbies:
Volunteer- Awarded the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal for starting a volunteer group that contributed to various community events in the area.
Travel/Adventure- Been to 30 countries, Running of the Bulls, River rafting down the Grand Canyon, etc.
Fitness- Completed 110 mile bike race, etc.
Target Schools: HBS, Wharton (stretch)
Kellogg, MIT, Tuck (zone)
Fuqua (safe)
chances at each school?
