Dear David,
Thank you for sharing your profile.
Below is our evaluation of your profile.
GMAT: Average
Academics: Above Average. A perfect GPA is a definite bright spot. To add to it, scholarships and additional certifications are helpful.
Work Experience: Average; While Amazon operations show that you have managed things at scale, a 03-year degree and then just 2 years of professional full time work experience pulls you back to some extent. You need to compensate for the same by demonstrating the following:
• Maturity at work
• Decision making skillset.
• Teamwork
• Impact created within a short span.
• High-quality internships.
Extracurriculars: Above Average. Exposure to different cultures through work as well as academics shows you can jell well in a diverse cohort. Ad coms love applicants who are multi-dimensional – your love for boxing, participation in Toastmasters events, volunteering to teach people and share knowledge etc. demonstrates the “other side of you”.
Post MBA Career goals: In the ‘AS-IS’ form, getting back to Amazon in the same function, seems a little myopic in nature. You need to show a broader vision of why you want to spend ~$200K and devote 18-24 months of your life to pursue a MBA program. You might want to consider swapping your long term and short-term goals.
Choice of Schools:
Achievable: HEC, Yale, LBS, MIT
Stretch: HBS, Wharton, GSB
