1) Brief description of your full-time work experience. What do you do?
I have been an accounting manager, supervising two accountants, at a mid-sized company since August 2011. I started with current employer in December 2008 as a Junior Accountant, and was promoted to senior accountant in March 2010.
Before that I worked 18 months for a 10 people marketing company as a bookkeeper. I took that job because I was an international student, and needed to find a full time job within three month after graduation to apply for a work permit to stay in Canada.
2) Your GMAT.
First GMAT taken in December 2012 640 (Q50, V26) CR 4, W 4
Plan to retake in May 2012, target 700+ (Q50, V35+) CR 6+, W 5+

Originally from China, I came to Canada in 2003. I was learning English when I took all my university courses.
4) Significant college and post-college extra-curricular activities or community service, especially leadership experience.
At Acadia University:
Chinese club treasure, Chinese club soccer team, New Year’s Banquet performer – singing, Judger at singing competition
Post school:
Mentor at Calgary Region of Immigration Council – Mentoring new immigrants to help them to develop useful skills to land to their first professional jobs in Canada
Tax preparer at Community Tax Program – prepare tax return for low income individuals

Assuming your GMAT ends up where you think it will, consider programs like Duke Fuqua, Rotman, Rochester, Cornell Johnson, Georgetown, and Yale. If you would consider an Asian program, look into HKUST or ISB.

Hi Linda,
I have received my second GMAT score 710 Q50 V34 AWA 4.5 IR 4. With low AWA and IR scores, do you think I should still consider the schools you recommended?
Thanks,
Michael
