Dear All,
I'd appreciate it if you gave me your oppinion on admissions prospects for top schools when I apply this year. My profile is as follows:
White/USA Citizen/Male/29
-3.5 GPA in English & Chinese language from Brown (andover/deerfield/etc. for HS)
-720 GMAT
-6 months at top real estate developer in London (Tishman Speyer, etc.)
-3.5 years at a small/growing private equity real estate firm in Shanghai (small, but the leadership is from top firms including goldman, etc.)
-2.0 years (at appliucation, 2.5+ years at matriculatioon) in asia real estate investments at top middle-east sovereign wealth fund, based in ME, but traveling regularly to asian markets including china/korea/japan and australia
-fluent in mandarin and conversational in cantonese chinese
-extra curriculars: weak point. an athlete, but didn't play for brown, just club/intermural, and not much charity/club work
-pay: high, even by industry standards (300+ all cash, roughly 200 guaranteed)
-recs outlook: exceptionally good (big shot financiers who i worked closely and consider me like a nephew)
General summary: highly international, great work experience, languages, but very bad EC and only "okay" academics/tests (though I am ivy)
trying to get in at H/S/W and "backup" at Columbia, Booth, NW, MIT
Thanks,
Pete
