Hi,
Thank you in advance for looking at my profile. I am planning to apply to NYU Langone Part-Time Program for Fall 2008. Can you please tell me what my chances are?
Background:
I am 24 years old male. I came to the United States 9 years ago from Russia. So English is not my native language. I went to high school in US for almost 2 years and then went to college.
Education:
Polytechnic University (Brooklyn, New York) - Graduated in 2005
BS in Computer Science (I took several graduate programming courses as well in addition to required courses)
GPA - 3.3 out of 4.0
GMAT:
630
AWA - 4.5
I took GMAT second time just recently, but got a lower score. I am not sure if this is going to look weird on my application.
Work Experience:
I’ve been working for almost 3 years as a software developer for a vendor, whose product is used by major investment banks all over the world. So far I’ve worked on the projects for 2 our clients (in New York).
--- All my reviews were very good (exceeds expectations in most categories)
--- On my previous project I was managing 1 person for a certain period of time
--- I am looking to get into project management role within my company in the future (that's why I want to get MS in Management)
Activities:
--- While I was in college, I was a math/physics tutor for the last 3 years I was there.
--- I am also a personal fitness trainer. This is my hobby for the past 5 years. I workout myself plus train several people on my spare time.
--- Member at local chess community. This is my hobby as well.
--- I have many other interests: tennis, swimming, reading, and traveling.
Goal:
Get MS in Management of Technology. In the future I want to be a project manager of IT group in a financial institution.
Thanks again for your time!
