I work in a BB(GS, Merrill, Morgan Stanley) as a Financial Advisor. Got promted 3 times in a quick span of over 2 years. Deals with Premier client. Total experiance 3 years. 25 years old. will be 4 yr experiance on matriculating.
Planning to take Gmat, expecting over 700 (
MGMAT practice is over 700)
Went to school in one of the best schools in south asia for undergrad in Mathematics. GPA of 2.4 which is very low. There were 3 reasons for low GPA
1. Supporting my college expenses by teaching Maths to high school. I still support my family back home.
2. School was competitive, courses were abstract and therotical and only 20% people had over 3.0 GPA
3. My non-serious attitude(party, laziness)
I graduated from college and came to US and made it in big firm, started at a non-officer but made my way up. US citizen
Extra-curricular are decent: Executive Commitee member in 2 school societies, mentoring new hires at my work place, volunteer for elderly support
Has series 7(90%), Series 66, CFP level 3, Actuarial sciences(p1)
My post MBA goal is to join sell side trading, consulting inspires me a lot also.
My problem is i am very confused, my job is decent and it pays well, i have a low GPA but strong analytical skills and looking to get into a good school. I know few alumni of NYU-stern and will love to be part of their MBA
Please advise if i have a shot at any one of these schools and what can i do to make it better. Also if u can reccomend 2-3 schools i have a chance at and a safety school please,
Dream: wharton, columbia
Target: NYU-stern, Marshall, UT-Austin
I live in NJ so last resort can be rutgers
I would seriously appreciate any feedback
