Major : Civil Engineer
Cum Gpa : 2.91 , Major Gpa : 3.1
University : Lebanese american university ( accredited and chartered in new york)
Gmat score : 730 q48 v42 ir 7 awa 5
Experience : 4.5 years experience including 3 years in saudi arabia and 1 year in dubai
My experience is almost split half between site engineer and office work (I can go into further detail if you have any questions) basically I managed on site from the execution of work to the tracking of materials and productivity , and made sure work was delivered under budget and under time constraints . In office I worked on design and execution drawings to make sure the work was safe and economical.
Also was the only engineer in the company in dubai to own a green construction license
Extra curricular : Competed in boxing championships in 2014 and 2018
Target schools are : HEC paris , Harvard , Melbourne business school , NYU stern , Stanford , MIT
Goal : MBA
Post mba goals(definitely need help articulating): I'd like to join a big company in consulting on large scale projects , or investment banking part of a team at a big bank to take big decisions. Basically anything where there's lots of factors at play and we have to find a link to take the correct decision.
Thanks for your time and reply. I'm also willing to work with an expert on preparing my application asap. This is just information off the top of my head, I know I have a lot to do.

Hello and thanks for your post.
Admissions committees will look at your stats, your work experience (and goals), and your extracurriculars.
In terms of stats, you have a strong GMAT so that is a good start. It is at least the average, if not above, for most of your target schools. That will partially compensate for your GPA which is a bit lower than the average. So depending on other factors, it may make sense to consider a supplemental course, in order to show you have the quantitative ability to succeed in the classroom.
Regarding your work experience, you have a solid number of years (4.5), and it sounds like you have been given a lot of responsibility. I would like to hear more about your accomplishments though, in order to better gauge how your work experience compares to other candidates. In your resume and essays, make sure to discuss the impact you have had at work. As for your goals, I do think consulting or banking could make sense, but you’ll have to really illustrate your transferable skills to show you could succeed in one of those roles. And definitely be specific as to which goal you choose and why. This is a topic I tend to spend a lot of time on with my clients, so I am glad you are taking your goals seriously.
And lastly, regarding your extracurriculars, I like that you have competed in boxing, though I would like to hear about other activities you have done, as well as the type of person you are – in order to help stand out among all applicants.
I would be happy to provide you more detail on your profile if you would like a free consultation. Feel free to email me at
michael@mbamission.com and we can schedule a time.
Either way, I wish you the best of luck!
