Background
I'm an auditor for a Big4 with about 4 years of experiencing working on insurance, banking, and government clients. I've had a mix of public and high profile companies. I will have a manager title and 5 years of experience at the time of my targeted matriculation (2017). I've had positive reviews from my managers and described as a high performer.
Extra-curriculars: Not much after college, since most of my time has been spent grinding away in busy seasons. I play bass/guitar for my local church and have led a mission team to teach English and martial arts in South America. I led a Christian fellowship of over 150 students while in college and was a member of an honors fraternity. I also participated in various university-wide fundraising and volunteer events. (relay for life, The big event, etc.) I also played intramural sports (football, basketball, frisbee), but not sure if that's something Adcoms even care about.
Undergrad: Graduated from a top 70 public school with an accounting degree.
Other coursework: I'm a licensed CPA. Passed on my first try.
Race/Sex: Asian American. Male.
Stats
GMAT: I haven't taken it yet, but based on my practice tests I'm aiming for 680-700.
GPA: 3.4. Could have done better but I took 50 credits my senior so I can sit for the CPA exam. My state requires 150 credit hours to be eligible for your license. I still got over a 3.0 GPA my senior year, but it dinged my overall.
MBA info
Goals: I want to get into corporate finance/strategy working with tech startups. I want to start out working for a top tech firm like Google, Amazon, Apple and work may way to smaller startups after a couple years of experience. Long-term, I want to be a CFO.
Target Schools: UCLA Anderson, Georgetown, USC, UT-Austin, CMU.... Reach school UC-Berkeley
Your feedback is appreciated!!!!

tchwang90,
Your manager role at the Big4 will be a nice asset for you as will your church-related extracurriculars (strongly recommend deepening the church roles with more leadership going forward if you can find the time). If you could break above a 700 on the GMAT it would help, especially at schools like Haas and UCLA. Otherwise, your school list looks doable and also well chosen given your target companies. For Amazon also consider Michigan Ross and Washington Foster. For Apple also consider Duke. I would be happy to give you more tailored feedback if you send me your resume: [email protected].

Thanks for sharing your profile. I think your strong track record at work will stand out. I think you want to make sure you connect the dots for why you are interested in the tech and start up world. Some passion pitch here would go along way to helping you stand out. Also, your GMAT target is ok but if you could sneak that over 700 it would help you out a ton. I think if you can do that you should be in play at the schools listed!
