I'm a Chinese-Filipino Malaysian graduating from an Australian law school this September. Before this very last semester, I took a year off to do some debate coaching and involve in my family business (sales in nature) as well. I managed to lead my team to win all the state competitions in Malaysia and go all the way to the national championship after two years of absence. My post-mba career goal is to get into IBanking in HK (short-term) and Hedge Fund/Entrepeneurship (long-term).
Please evaluate my profile to see my chance of getting into Cornell or Yale, and I'm not really crazy about M7 schools. FYI, I started my undergrad studies in Taiwan, and finished top (1/51) in my first year at a Taiwanese law school. I love backpacking and have been to places like Los Angeles (part of a cultural exchange program), San Francisco, New Zealand (Working Holiday) and Bangkok. And, I have a strong interest in Chinese Calligraphy, and I happened to get the Highest Distinction Honor in a competition held in Australia.
GPA: 3.82/4.00 or 90.12/100 in TW + Distinction or High Credit Average (72-75/100) in Australia
GMAT: 750/6.0 AWA
WE: 2 years at matriculation (Aug 2011 intake)
Honors: Presidential Award and 1st prize for Academic Achievement (TW)
Dean's Scholarship and 2 First-in-class Honors (AUS)
I don't want to emphasize on the fact that I'm only 20 now, since I think it might be a negative for me.
