Hello!
Could you please provide some feedback for me? I am planning to apply to b-school this fall for Sept 2011, and I am currently targeting MIT, Upenn, Chicago, and NYU.
27 year old, white male.
Undergraduate degree: (Rutgers University)
-B.S. Chemical Engineering w/ minor in Economics (3.5 minor GPA; 3.15 overall)
- Member of Chemical Engineering and Economics Honor Societies
Undergratuate leadership:
- Student President, International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers
- Vice President of Engineering Governing Council
- AICHE Member, etc.
I also have taken two business courses through UMass Amherst Online (4.0 GPA) to bolster my business background.
Professional Career:
Johnson & Johnson Global Operations Leadership Development Program (GOLD) Associate.
- approximately 40 members/yr (worldwide)
- Leadership Development Program focused on developing associates through rotating candidates across multiple companies and exposing them to a variety of operations based assigments (manufacturing, supply chain, quality, procurement, etc)
2+ years post program leading global supply chain projects and managing several product portfolios (from a demand planning perspective) with J&J, and now BASF.
Additional Leadership:
- Lead intern co-op association @ J&J
- Founded the GOLD newsletter
- Active in Community Service
- Hold several professional designations (Certified Supply Chain Professional; Six Sigma Green Belt, etc)
I realize that my academic requirements may be lower than the average applicant, however I believe that my strengths (leadership style, ability to effectively collaborate, strong problem solving skills) may be enough to offset any academic weakness. Since my second year at Rutgers I have had a strong desire to go to a Top MBA program to obtain an MBA to compliment my technical BS. I hope to study a combination of Finanace and Marketing to expand on my knowledge skillset and to provide me the educational background and leadership training necessary for leading a large multinational operations organization.
Unfortunately I had to take the GMAT 3 times to reach the 700 mark, but I just completed the test this week with a Q:45, V:40, 700. I'm not sure what my essay score will be, however on my last go-round I received a 6.0. ( I used all MGMAT books; & took Knewton prep course prior to 3rd attempt)
Sorry for the long profile write-up. Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Hello,
Too bad you didn't take a Veritas Prep course... Maybe you would have done better than 700.
I like your professional experience, although "Active in community service" is very vague... If you're just showing up to Habitat for Humanity events once a month, that's not demonstrating a real impact on your community. Ideally you have some real examples of true impact on those around you... That's what admissions officers really look for in community service.
I think your undergrad academics will hurt you some (unfortunately), so you may want to expand your school search a bit to include slightly lower-ranked schools. I just mean looking a bit lower in the rankings, such as Michigan, Duke, or Darden, just to spread your bets. But, you are in the running for a top-tenish school.
Good luck!
Scott
