In this live 60-minute masterclass, How to Get Ahead of MBA Recruiting Now, we’ll walk through the four biggest mistakes incoming MBAs make and how to avoid them so you’re not scrambling to catch up once recruiting begins.
Hello! I'm an international applicant from Taiwan. Female age 27 at matriculation. I'm targeting at top 20. Below is my profile.
1. Work experience: 4 years actuary focus on risk management in life insurance company
( 1 year in Fortune 500 and 3 years in a large local company)
team work environment, nature of work is financial modeling and reporting, close to the company management, no much leadership experience
2. Exam: GMAT 730 (50,38), Toefl 103 (speaking 23)
3. Undergraduate: Major in finance, GPA 86/100 or 3.8/4 from top 1 domestic school
4. Designations: ASA, CFA level 1
5. Activities: leader of school dance club, exchange student in Europe, business competition
6. Career goal: just want something related to finance, actuary is also fine. But in the essay I will say short-term goal is consulting in financial industry and long-term goal is management position in Asia. Is it appropriate?
7. I chose an actuarial job because I have good quatitative skill but still want to do something business.
I am interested in Ross, Cornell, CMU, UNC, Emory, Wisconsin and UIUC, but also consider adding Rochester, Duke or a top 10 school. I really appreciate if you can give some advice on school selection. Thank you!

My concern is that it is hard to substantiate a goal of management if you haven't done any management before. I'm wondering if the MSc in Finance makes more sense for you to make the move to the financial industry: they'll like your Quant skills and will be less concerned about the lower TOEFL/Verbal GMAT scores and minimal leadership. As it stands now, I don't see your chances at Ross, Cornell, Tepper, or Duke as great, but the others are certainly worth a try in parallel to some MSc applications.

Hi,
I am admitted by Ross, Tepper with 12500/yr, and Rochester with 20000/yr.
I am not sure she was kidding me or not, but I can say my TOEFL/Verbal GMAT scores are not big problems for Asian Female. I know others who are admitted with similar scores. Other people suggested me try some top 10 schools. I regret not listening to them.
She is nice in answering everyone's questions here. But I suggest people in this forum listen to more opinions and believe yourself.
