Hello All,
I would love to hear additional thoughts and recommendations on I could improve my profile. I plan to apply in for 2012. Thanks!
Basic stats:
27yr old Asian Male
GMAT: 700(Q50, V35)
Undergraduate GPA:3.29
Graduate GPA: 3.78
Education:
Bachelors in Business (Finance) from a small state school and a MS in Finance from a near elite school
Work Experience:
Total of 4 years. 3 years of experience in capital markets at a mid-sized regional bank. I started as an investment analyst and was promoted to associate portfolio manager 13 months later. I currently manage a team of two analysts and will have two years of experience in a leadership role. My experience ranges from managing an investment position to representing the bank by acting as the direct contact to certain auditors and regulatory authorities. Previously, I spent a year working in a non-profit where I participated in educational grants to develop finance education for high school and college students in my home town.
Extra Curricular Activities:
-Mentor and industry contact for the finance education organization I worked for
-Alumni interviewer for my undergrad and grad schools
-Completed CFA exams
Other:
I faced a life threatening illness that impacted my undergraduate studies, but I recovered with a new sense of appreciation for life and pursued more challenging opportunities.
Post MBA plans:
Portfolio and investment strategy for a global asset manager. I am very interested in being a part of an asset manager that invests globally and across multiple asset classes.
Considered Schools:
Wharton, Booth, Sloan, Anderson, Stern, and USC.
Concerns:
I already have a lot of business/finance education with undergraduate and graduate degrees in finance along with the knowledge from the CFA. However, I believe an MBA program will yield a totally different experience and will help me develop a different set of skills.

I think you got a great list there. Wharton, Booth, and Sloan are obviously going to be hard to get in (for pretty much anyone). You should be able to get in at least one from Anderson, Stern, or Marshall. The thing with your profile is that it's pretty standard, and I mean it with all due respect. A lot of finance guys/gals like yourself will be applying for business schools each year. The question is how you can stand out and show that you're better than the next portfolio manager from London.
