Hey Veritas,
This is a xpost of mine from Peer Review, but would love to get your opinion.
Basic demographic info:
Age: 26
Gender/Nationality: Asian Male (Native to US)
Educational Background:
Undergrad Major: Economics (Minor in Film) at UCLA
GPA: 3.55 (Cumulative)
GMAT: 690 (Q48 V36; retaking in 2 weeks and shooting for 720-740)
Work experience:
1.5 years Consultant at mid-market tech consulting firm doing organizational change management (Aerospace and Telecommunications clients)
1 year Business Insights Analyst in web analytics (Disney Interactive - online media)
1.8 years Business Analyst in Demand Planning (current role at Electronic Arts - video games industry)
The progression here is a bit all over the place unfortunately. I started out in consulting to get a variety of experience and learn. From there, I jumped to Disney because of the focus on analytics and my interest in the Disney brand and in online/digital media. From there, I went to EA because it was a foot in the video game industry. My current role also presented an opportunity to take on more responsibility and to learn more about the mobile gaming industry (I work in mobile publishing), which is a hot topic right now.
Extracurriculars:
2+ years Big Brothers Big Sisters (Big Brother - Mentor)
1 year Taproot Foundation (Pro-Bono Consultant as the lead data analyst on a Program Measurement project for a non-profit dealing with homeless and low-income families)
Starting UCLA Riordan MBA Fellows Program in 1 month
Goals:
Interested in product marketing/brand management (interested in companies such as Nike, Adidas, Underarmour, Microsoft - Xbox)
This interest stems from my passion for maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle (I workout 5-6 days a week and love sports) and enjoying video games (grew up playing them).
Schools I'm considering:
I'm aiming to apply to 4 schools in R2. I have decided that I will definitely be applying to Duke Fuqua and Michigan Ross.
For the last 2 schools, I am considering Chicago Booth, Northwestern Kellogg, Dartmouth Tuck and Yale SOM. Depending on my GMAT retake, I will decide which 2 schools here I have the best shot at.
Any thoughts/feedback is appreciated!

Thanks for sharing your profile. I like your profile and your last two stops are directionally on path. You generally want to be at least working towards your industry of choice or your function of choice and both of your last two stops were in media. Now the same way you connected those dots for me you will need to do the same for the AdComm.
You will need to definitely improve your GMAT score to be competitive at the schools listed. I would also comment that I would recommend including Kellogg as 1 of the 2 final options if you can hit your target score. The school has a great track record of placing students in PM roles at the companies you are interested in.
I hope this helps!
