Experience: 5 years in the Wealth Management Department at a large Trust Bank. I am currently an investment officer but I don't have anyone reporting to me.
I am a certified financial planner and have passed level 1 of the CFA.
I don't know if it matters but I was a director in college for our Dance Marathon which raised over $600,000 for the Riley's Children Hospital. I am currently a mentor for the program and they raised over $1,000,000 this year.
I am looking at Ultra Elite schools but thinking about going part time to Kellogg or Chicago since that is where I currently live.
rpfinley,
$600,000? Wow, that's a lot of money. Given your GMAT, lack of direct management exposure, and, apparently, lack of current community (not to mention you common demographic profile), I think you are overshooting with Ultra Elites. Applying part-time would increase your odds, but Kellogg and Chicago would probably still be long-shots. Assuming your goal is finance, you might consider Indiana, Ohio State, Duke, Rochester.
Good luck,
