sharing what you learned in a failed venture can show desire to try new things-- and to learn from failure-- resilience-- the "it" word of 2020....Referees: Manager and colleague
Target Schools (R2): Any of the top 25 in US
I would look at programs with a lot of experiential learning and I would look to top 15-25 programs for best odds. The resources for investment management and experiential learning stand out at UNC Kenan-Flagler, you could also look at Emory, Olin, Kellogg will be a stretch but they do have an asset management pathway, you could consider Anderson, Marshall, Tepper, Cornell are all a few that come to mind in a range of selectivity levels.
