Hi,
Would appreciate if you could take a look at my profile and provide a high-level evaluation of odds at H/S/W. I plan on applying in Fall of 2015 (B-school class of 2018).
Pakistani / Male / 26 years old
Education:
Completed high school in Pakistan
Undergraduate from top 10 U.S. Liberal Arts (Class of 2010)
Economics Major
3.8 / 4.0 cum gpa
GMAT:
Have started studying and aiming to take it early 2015
Work:
Working for top 10 / 'bulge bracket' investment banking firm. 3 years as an analyst in NY in capital markets. Promoted to associate and moved to corp fin / M&A in Canada. Move to Canada was for personal reasons (family immigrated to Canada and I had to live in Canada to maintain permanent resident status).
Career goals and why MBA?
Do not want to pursue i-banking post the Associate role. Want to start a career in investing. Short term goal: break into hedge fund / mutual fund. Long term goal: manage my own fund. Why MBA: Investing / asset management courses and network of students with former investing experience will provide the necessary stepping stones to break into industry and create a path to achieve long term objective.
Appreciate your thoughts.
