Hi Guys,
Thanks for looking this over. I wanted to know if you could recommend about 2-3 safety, likely, and stretch schools to apply to in the fall. I would like to apply to 6 schools altogether.
Here are my stats:
• 720 GMAT (80% quant/96% verbal/6 AWA)
• 3.7 GPA*see below
• 27 year old white, American male
Work Experience
• 3.75 years by fall ‘07 (now at 2.5 years) in a successful, fast-growing start-up
• Conduct sales/marketing campaigns for software companies
• Several blue-chip clients.
• When I started about 12 employees now we are at 100.
• I have been promoted many times, with 2 years of leadership positions
• I was a project manager for 1 year and now I am managing a quality initiative.
• For the last year and a half, I have had 5-8 people officially report to me.
• Recommendations should be very good.
*GPA
Dropped out of my first college after 2 years due to poor grades, took a semester off, went to comm college to get my associates degree (4.0 gpa) and then finished off my last 2 years at a state school with a 3.7 gpa.
Extracurricular/community:
• At college, little to no involvement considering I had to work my way through college.
• 2 years ago at work I started a volunteer organization in which I organize community service projects every 3-6 months.
• I am a member of a few social action organizations (w/o a leadership role)
• Learning mandarin Chinese
Interested in general management/consulting and a school with technology reputation would be a plus.
What safety/likely/stretch schools would you recommend in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and (to a lesser extent) MidWest?
Thanks in advance…
