Hi there,
I would appreciate a general profile overview based on my background:
Undergrad: HBSC, Financial Economics from University of Toronto 3.1 CGPA (3.8 in final 2 years and many 4.0s in high level quant courses)
Experience:
1 year as a Supply Chain Analyst at General Electric
1.5 years as an investment advisor for a Canadian boutique dealer
1 year as an Equity Research Associate at a recognized boutique Canadian investment bank (covering domestic and foreign upstream energy)
7 months as an Associate/Analyst (Equity Research) at the same investment bank (coverage same as above)
4 months as an Institutional Equity Salesman for the same investment bank
GMAT: 710 (48Q, 39V)
Extracurriculars: Lots of sport related activities, student ambassador at U of T, Tour Guide at U of T, represented U of T at several national fairs, Member of several clubs, Lots of public speaking, completed Wall Street Prep and oil and gas engineering course while working
Tutored a Wharton Executive-MBA student in Economics and Statistics (have a very positive reference from the student).
My top choices are:
1.) Wharton
2.) Columbia
3.) Booth
4.) Kellogg
5.) Insead (France)
6.) Stern
I know this is quite ambitious given that I am also applying in Round 3 (decided last minute in October to leave my seat on the sales and trading desk to do GMAT and b-school applications). So I would appreciate your honest feedback. Don't be shy to tell me i'm crazy if you think that's the case.
Consultants: If you feel like you can help me out w my aspirations, please reply and let me know what you think about my profile.
Thanks guys!!

MB4LIFE,
You may be reaching a bit high in that you've around quite a bit, your GPA (even given the solid GMAT score) is a bit under your target averages, you didn't address your leadership background in your overview or your 'diversity' assets (if any). Depending on these factors you could target some of the schools you listed as 'reach' schools. Feel free to email me your resume for a closer look: [email protected].

Hi,
With the given profile, I would suggest you to target some realistic b-schools like: Haas, Tuck, Columbia, Duke, Darden, Ross, UCLA-Anderson and McCombs. You can also try your chances in b-schools by clicking https://www.general-ed.com/chances-of-bschool . Subsequently, you need to skillfully frame your application essays and demonstrate the leadership qualities, achievements at work place and value you will create in b-school society.
Let me know in case of other concerns you might have. You can PM your number to discuss over your profile or selection of b-schools.
Cheers!!
