Hello,
Please evaluate my candidacy for this upcoming 2010 year.
Asian Female: 28 years old
Work Experience: 2 years in real estate investment management and 1 year in entertainment finance
Responsibilities: Return and portfolio analysis
Current Title: Portfolio Analyst
Undergraduate Degree: Major in Economics, Minor in Near Eastern History
Undergraduate GPA: 3.4 from UCLA
GMAT: 670 (v. 42, q. 39)
Extracurricular activities/Volunteer work :
Served as Peace Corps Volunteer for over two years in rural Thailand
Business Plan Coach for NFTE to a group of inner city high school children.
Assistant director at nonprofit tutorial center
I am interested in applying to Columbia, NYU, USC, UCLA and Michigan. I understand my quant score is rather low for these schools, but I did do a lot of heavy quant courses during college and received Bs and above. Currently my job duties require me to do a lot of investment return analysis and calculations. I'm not sure if my resume and transcipt are sufficient enough to negate my quant score. Are these schools out of reach for me?
Also, my interest is in international investment in third world countries. Should I place a lot of focus on my Peace Corps work in my application?
Please advise.
Thank you in advance.

PCV,
Your GMAT score is not too far off the mark for you to have a chance at all these schools. I say that because you have a helpful gender (female) and an interesting profile (real estate, entertainment finance, Near Eastern History, Peace Corps/Thailand, etc.). There's a lot there.
Yes, you should place emphasis on your Peace Corps experience, whether you state international development goals or not -- it's distinctive, international, and shows leadership. Note that everyone and their sister is stating social impact goals these days so don't think your goals will help you stand out. Only state them if they are truly what you want to do.
Good luck,
