I am applying for entry Fall 2015.
Could I please ask for a profile evaluation? Post MBA-goals are to enter marketing in the NYC or southeast (Atlanta).
I am applying R1 to Fuqua, Darden, Ross, Columbia (NY connection), Tuck, and Kellogg. What are my chances? Thank you in advance for your evaluation.
Academics:
Graduated from Georgia Tech in 2010. Due to international baccalaureate credits/proficiency exam, I accrued enough credits to finish the Mechanical Engineering major in 3 years (is this a plus?)
My GPA was 3.28. If all goes as planned - I will be 26 when I matriculate into the Fall 15 term.
GMAT: 710 (49 q, 37 v)
Career:
Upon finishing college, I figured I had one year to figure out what I wanted to do, so I stayed at GT to do research in mechanical engineering.
Then I spent 1 yr at a internet startup, 2 years at an niche mechanical engineering consulting firm, and 1+ years now at another small engineering consultancy (more IT).
I was unemployed for two months (layoff at the 1st mechanical engineering firm due to downsizing) - Atlanta area.
Extracurriculars
I volunteer as a tutor for kids from low-income families (done this for 1 year to date) and I am part of a Big Brother/Big Sister program (separate institution) helping the same demographic of kids pursue goals and stay on the right path to success (1 year to date as well).
