Hello,
My name is Nhu from Vietnam. I'm 23 years old. I will apply for MBA program, concentration in Marketing (Marketing Analytics/Market Research), Fall 2017.
Currently, I'm researching on schools to finalise the school list. Therefore, I would really appreciate if you guys could help to evaluate my profile.
I took my undergraduate degree in Vietnam, majored in International Finance with GPA: 3.41/4.0 (top 10% of major). My GMAT score: 720 (Q:50 - V:36).
Working experience:
Full-time WE so far: 16 months. I have been working as a marketing executive in a foreign commercial bank in Vietnam, in charge of sales-up promotions for credit cards, digital marketing channels. My team scale is quite small (6 people) divided into 3 sub-teams, I lead 01 team and at the same time get involved in another team.
Part-time WE: 9 months as a research associate at a head-hunting company.
Extracirricular activities:
1. 3 years in a student-run club at university: get involved in marketing & fund-raising activities/ marketing leader of a big project then was promoted to the position of marketing manager.
2. 1 year in a club for alumni of a 15-year scholarship: executive board - organize events to connect all generations
3. 7 months in a program for SMEs: connect SMEs with experienced mentors.
Awards: 02 scholarships during university (quite prestigious and big)
Goals:
Short-term: Get an internship & an offer to work in a market research US firm (2 years)
Mid-term: Come back to Vietnam, marketing in a financial company (banking/ card companies)
Long-term: Work as a consultant in a market research company for banking/financial industry.
Below are schools I intend to apply this year:
1. Crosby MBA - University of Missouri
2. Smeal
3. Texas A&M
4. William & Mary
5. Indiana Kelley
I'm still researching on schools but really need your advice & consultancy or suggestions on choosing schools. With my profile & career orientation, which schools should I aim for?
Besides, my lack of working experience is a great disadvantage, so I wonder if there are any other credentials I should build to make up for that disadvantage?
Thank you so much for your time!

Thank you for your detailed post. While you don't have a great deal of work experience, you have a focus and a clear career plan so that will help you. The list you have is very reasonable. You should be able to get into most of those schools. In fact, I would recommend you to apply to some higher ranked schools as well.
Take a look at Michigan Ross, Duke Fuqua and other similarly ranked programs.
Your experience is very relevant to your goals and I would be happy to talk about the right approach with your applications. Send me a note to discuss further. Scott@personalmbacoach.com
Best,
Scott
