Could you please evaluate my profile, advise me on target schools & help me point out my strengths & weaknesses?
Viet Nam/Female/29 years
GMAT : GMAT1 :580 (Q46, V25, IR2, AWA4).
GMAT2 :640 (Q49, V28, IR3, AWA4). My exam was delayed almost 2 hours because of technical issues at the center.
GMAT3 :730 (Q49, V39, IR7, AWA4.5). I lost sleep the night before the test day.
Education :
IT Engineer from HUST (Top technical university in VN).
GPA- 7.44/10
Professional Experience:
1 year: software developer/ my company is a member of the biggest Posts and Telecommunications Group in VN
1 year: sales executive/ Samsung VN (consumer electronics). Put an enormous amount of effort to change job because I always have passion for business in the high-tech industry.
2 years: Regional Retail manager /Promoted/ Samsung VN (consumer electronics), led a sales team of 50 members
2 years: Nationwide Retail manager /Promoted/ Samsung VN (consumer electronics), led a sales team of 140 members (plan on manpower & investment; recruit; set target, KPI, salary, reward/ penalty policy...)
Set up a pharmaceutical store (3 years, monthly revenue ~$10K)
Extra-curricular:
Form & lead a tennis club at work
Manager of a social group, supporting MBA applicants (1 year)
Participating some charitable activities at the university & at work
Career goals:
Short term: To develop a career in business development in technical giants (Apple, Google, Microsoft...)
Long term: Start my own technical firm.
Target schools:
R1: Haas, UCLA, McCombs, McDonough.
R2: Stern, Emory, Marshall, Foster
My 1st priority is location
, Cali is the best. I also like Chicago, Columbia, MIT, Kellogg but I think these schools are beyond my reach because I need some financial aid for MBA from the university if I get accepted.
Thanks a ton!

Hey! So first of all, great that you finally cracked that GMAT on the head! A 730 is awesome!
I think with your GMAT and you being a female candidate form Vietnam you should be pretty good to go. I especially like that your school list is reasonable, and you may even get some scholarship offers from some of the schools!
Right now, the one thing I'm not so crazy about is your goals, esp. the long-term goals. They are way too vague (Actually so are the short-term goals). Your goal of going to work for a big tech firm is a good one, and makes sense, so for your long term goal, why not simply continue to advance??? Have some goal as a high-level manager in a firm like Google? It will be more precise and more realistic.
I hope this helps!
Best,
JF

Hi JF,
I really appreciate your advice & it really helps to give me some ideas & build my confidence!!!
Actually, I originally thought of becoming the head of Sales or Marketing operations at these companies in the short term and then a CEO in the long term but then I wavered. Now I will follow your advice. Thank you a lot!!!!
