Hi All!
I am applying to top MBA programs this year and wanted to know how my profile holds up:
I am an African American female and graduated from a top 10 university in 2015. Majored in Politics Science with an economics minor.
GPA: 3.4
GRE Exam Results:
158 V / 156 Q
160 V / 154 Q
160 V / 151 Q - (I'll probably only send the first two)
WE:
3 years in media/entertainment
-For two years, I worked at one of the top three (i.e ABC/CBS/NBC) media companies in research and strategy. I was promoted after 1 year.
-Within the last year, I worked at a major talent agency (i.e CAA/WME/ICM/UTA) in talent department as an agent assistant. I now work at a production company headed by a showrunner with two series on air. I am tasked with reading scripts (to see if it might be something my boss wants to develop) and understanding the current content landscape as well as developing a company strategy. It has a start uppy feel
-In addition, I am the executive director of a local scholarship fund (in charge of reading materials and selecting scholarship recipients)
-For two years, while working in media, I was a researcher for the head of entrepreneurship/econ development for a city that experienced bankruptcy in 2015 (sorry for the vague language. trying to remain somewhat anonymous on here).
What are my chances? I would like to raise my math score but am unsure if I want to retake the test again when I need to focus on my applications. I was thinking of doing that online math course to show that I have mathematical ability.
I would apply Round 1:
Columbia - may do ED
Yale
Wharton
HBS
Tuck
I think that even for your demographics your GRE score is low (GMAT conversion- 580-590).
I'd ask you to bring it up to an equivalent of GMAT late 600s atleast.
