Hi All, thank you so much for taking the time to evaluate my profile and thinking.
I am interested in applying to top MBA programs this coming fall and enrolling in the Fall of 2016. Here is a basic overview of my profile.
Basic Stats:
27 year old male
University of Notre Dame Bachelor of Arts (2010)
Majored in Philosophy
3.08 Undergrad GPA
Undergrad GPA low because I essentially suffered through depression for the first two years. Held a 3.5 GPA last two years.
Earned two MA's: One in Liberal Arts (3.4 GPA at St. John's College), the other in Curriculum and Instruction (4.0 GPA at University of Mississippi)
GRE score: 165 V, 168 Q (both 95th percentile)
Goals:
Target is to work in management consulting after MBA. Want to get into a top 15 school. Top schools include Kellogg, Fuqua, Ross, Darden, and Yale. Long term goal would be to become chief executive of a major educational organization.
Other Background Info:
Taught 10th Grade English (3 years, it will be my 4th year while submitting applications). Did not do TFA, but did a similar program (Mississippi Teacher Corps) that is, by percent of applicants admitted, more competitive than TFA.
Showed increased responsibility by, after two years, being elected to train and manage new teachers for my MA program. Also, in my current school district, elected to a district-level leadership board for academics.
Outside work activities mostly have included helping out at the school. Coached multiple sports, tutored
Nationality: American
Ethnicity: Biracial (African-American and White)
Lived in USA my whole life
