Applying Round 1:
Program: MBA FT
Area of interest in MBA: Finance
GMAT: 770 51Q/47V (I think?), 6.0 AWA
GPA: 3.8, Physics/Economics, Ivy, High Honors
Work experience: 2 years at IB (GS/MS), 2 years at MegaCap PE (worked in both Europe and the U.S., lots of HBS alumni), interned at M/B/B, board observer for a couple of our portfolio companies
Nationality: Asian
Age: 25 at matriculation
Gender: M
Languages: English
ECs: Kind of weak here. Couple of club presidencies in college, editorships at some newspapers, some involvement with tutoring etc, worked on a 5-6 different on-campus jobs, a ton of econ/finance research, thesis in Physics, study abroad in central Europe (do these count?), worked with a charity for a 7-8 months (nothing too great though). To be honest, work schedule is so brutal that I can't find time outside of work at all.... but I have some good work-related stuff though. Like, I am fairly active on our Company boards, interact with the CEO a lot etc. But I think that's common for PE applicants.
I think I can write some interesting essays (lots of travel, interesting experiences while working on campus in several different jobs etc.)
