Hello,
I was wondering if you could do a profile evaluation for me; I’m planning to apply next year (for Fall 2016) but I would like to know what my strengths and weaknesses are now so I can improve upon them. My goal is to eventual transition into management consulting where I would better be able to utilize my skillset as well as expand upon it in a fast-pace environment (obviously, my essay and interviews will phrase that better but I don’t want to bore you). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
29 (at matriculation)/Caucasian/male
GMAT: 750
Undergrad GPA: 3.6 (Top 30 school, major: Math-Econ)
Grad GPA: 3.45 (Masters in Accounting , top 5 accounting program)
Work Experience (at matriculation): 2 years at Big 4 in IT Audit, 3 years in data analytics within the finance department at large US telecom (current job). Promoted once at each job; I believe/hope that I will be promoted again at my current job.
Certifications: CPA, CFE
Extracurricular Activities: children’s charity, park trail recovery, volunteer at charity golf tournament (PGA event), Toastmasters
Schools considered: Penn, Chicago, MIT, UVA, Duke, UNC

Looking good so far, dude,
Although I would need a lot more detail, esp. about your work to get into the nitty gritty of things.... but basically, with a 750. a Top 30 school, Big4 and other good employers on your CV, and three promotions in 6 years, things are looking good.
I don't see any major weakness to address, so just write the best application you can, and present goals that make sense in terms of what you have done, and you should be golden...
You should be a shoe-in for UNC, as long as you can convince them that you REALLY want to go there (they may be wary of your application for the benefit of yeild, esp. if you let them know you will be applying to xxx higher-ranked schools)
And oh yeah, man... 750!! And as a caucasian american!
Well Done!!
Best,
JF

Good morning John,
Thank you for the feedback; it is really appreciated. You mentioned that I would really need to convince UNC that I want to go there especially if I mention that I am applying to more highly ranked program; do schools usually ask this because I have a hard time imagining why I would willingly tell them. Would there be another program that I should look at instead of UNC?
Thank you.
