Hi,
Age: 26
Country: Colombia
Gender: Female
GMAT: 700
TOEFL: 119/120
Education:
- Master in Industrial Engineering, Universidad de los Andes (Colombia's most Prestigious University) received a complete scholarship for being ranked one of Colombia's Top 10 graduating Industrial Engineers of 2008.
- Undergrad: Double majored in Economics and Industrial Engineering, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá
Work experience:
- 3,5 years working for a social entrepreneurship which has won several international awards. I started out as a Research Analyst and I am currently General Manager for Colombia.
I am very interested in Impact Investment and CSR (I am certified in CSR Consulting). And after the MBA I plan to help give a general management perspective to CSR initiatives especially in third world countries. I work closely with a lot of foundations and non profits in Colombia and have seen they have really good intentions but not a business approach, so their efforts are not sustainable.
Others: I love cooking. I speak Spanish and English and have an intermediate French and Portuguese level.
I plan to apply to Harvard, Stanford and Wharton (as top choices) and would like to see what my chances are.
Thank You..

Hello VictoriaS7, thanks for your question.
Your academics are quite solid with a 3.7 GPA and 750 GMAT. Just to be safe, what were the quantitative and verbal splits? If you are 80% or above with both, you should have no worries.
Your work experience seems strong. From the awards and your rise to General Manager, I would think you’ve had to demonstrate significant leadership, right? To the degree that you can flesh out examples of this leadership and the results you’ve personally driven, I think that will distinguish you from other candidates.
Two questions about your profile:
- What are your extracurricular activities? It need not be official volunteer service. You can also demonstrate leadership through your passions, hobbies, and interest.
- Does your future career path require an MBA? I am no expert in your field, but I know that you are already CSR certified and are a General Manager. What do you need from a business degree to achieve your goals? The more you can demonstrate a need for an MBA, the stronger your candidacy will be.
Depending on your answers to the aforementioned questions, I think you could shoot for all of those programs. Stanford and HBS, especially, look for a wow factor, but I think you may have it with your experience
Best of luck!
Brian
