Hi, I was hoping to get some feedback on my profile:
Work Experience: I was an aviation insurance agent the first year out of college, which basically involved risk management for small and large aircraft fleets. I taught for a large helicopter flight school (and also worked my way into handling their marketing) a year after that. In 2009 I founded First Landings Aviation with a friend of mine, which grew over the next three years from a small one-airplane flight school flying 20 hours a month to a four airplane flight school flying almost 300 hours a month. As an offshoot of the flight school, my partner and I began building aviation-specific cameras for the cockpit, as well as aviation engine analyzers, which are both carried by popular aviation suppliers. We do have two patents on our products. I sold my share of the flight school in May 2012 so I could concentrate on the MBA application process, and work on a few other product ideas.
GMAT: 700
University of Central Florida for Undergrad, 3.7GPA, Political Science
Extracurricular: Published articles in various aviation-specific magazines, topics ranging from aviation risk management to flight instruction. Founded UCF Student Club. Founded Aviators of Central Florida, an active social club. Volunteered for EAA (an aviation organization) during several trade shows. Pursued advanced pilot ratings.
Certifications- Mostly aviation related. Also have 2-20 insurance agent license.
Target- Chicago, Duke, Kellogg, Carnegie Mellon, Dartmouth, possibly Yale or Emory.
Post-MBA. Mostly likely continue in entrepreneurship or go into consulting.
I'm hoping my experience starting a small company that continues to grow will weigh heavily on my application, but is that likely? Also, I'm open to suggestion on schools I should be applying for if the above seem out of reach.
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Thanks for your post. I have a couple of questions:
1) Did you have any math classes in college and how were your grades in them?
2) What was you quant and verbal percentiles on the GMAT?
Best,
Linda

Hi Linda,
The only math class I had to take for Poli Sci was College Algebra unfortunately (got a B, probably because I only went to the tests, which in retrospect was a mistake). On the GMAT I scored relatively poorly on the math side (43 Quant, 42 Verbal). I was good at math in high school, but obviously its been a while. I did take Statistics Using Excel as a college course and finance elective, with a B and A, respectively. I'm hoping the lack of recent math will be offset by the monthly financial reports my business generated using both excel and other applications (we had monthly meetings with our investor). We also did some fairly technical work for our engine analyzer and camera systems.
