Hi...
I would please like to get an evaluation on my profile.. Though I am still yet to take the GMAT.. I've solid GRE scores(153/166 for verbal and 160/166 for quant) but going to take the GMAT in a month, and i'm going to get a circa 700 score..
-profile: 31, male, nigerian
-low undergraduate GPA from a Nigeria University (B.Eng Chemical Engineering) -around 60% average
-very high grade on the masters from a top ranked U.K university (MSc Process and Systems Engineering) - just a percentage point shy from finishing with the top degree. I had a 69% average and a 70% average makes a 'distinction', which is the highest grade.
5yrs solid work experience including one year in Chevron, graduate engineer
2 years Systems Engineer
and 3 years in a top government petroleum regulatory agency(a very prestigious job in my country, manage a lot of people, so lots of leadership)
extras: held a couple of leadership position: class representative of my MSc class
alot of volunteer mentoring
deeply involved in basketball as a volunteer coach and guide to high school kids
got a few scholarship awards especially a much vaunted postgraduate scholarship award for my masters study.
have started a couple of successful business endeavors in the past, currently involved in one, a very sustainable business that helps rural farmers find a market for their produce(really excited about this one)
post MBA goals: want to go into the finance or strategy/ policy side of the energy industry or any tech company
schools targeted: UCLA Anderson, Haas, Emory Goizueta, Darden, Owen and Georgia Tech
Would really like to hear about my chances and also any advice that you can kindly dish out wud be appreciated.
