I have been at P&G for 4 year in the Brand-CMK function, and was promoted after 2 years (fastest timing). Job responsibilities include leadership role over research and its application into brand strategy. Roles have spanned direct brand support to corporate functions. Direct impacts have added to brand share, improved category growth, changed campaign direction for brands $0.5B+ in revenues, improved marketing vehicle ROI, innovated company analytic capabilities.

(Post-Grad)

Career Objective: Switch industries to face sophisticated tech (Aerospace, Robotics) whiles till working the business side. I'm evaluating join-degree (MBA + other) programs to achieve a better working knowledge of technical fields.
Target Schools: Stanford, MIT Sloan, Harvard, Wharton, Ross, Fuqua, Booth
Questions:
1) Are these schools within reach? What would put them within reach?
2) What stats or features of my profile can help set me apart? Where should seek to improve?
3) Is a Joint-degree reasonable? What other factors should I consider (Do i need a GRE as well)
4) I'm retaking my GMAT -any specific feedback regarding my score?
Hey dude,
Are these schools within reach? Well, that's gonna depend on your GMAT lots. If you are breaking at least a 710 (although preferably a 730) then you can be in business. I mean P&G is a super solid well known firm, and if you can prove you have done well there, then you will be good in that aspect.
Your GPA is pretty good, but could be a touch higher for Top 10. And I don't know what school you are from. That will also influence your chances.
A joint degree is always possible, but it needs to make sense (you also didn't tell me WHICH joint degree you are going for), and depending on the school and degree you may need to take another test (like the GRE) to be eligible. But that depends on what you are aiming for.
But right now, as you already know your NUMBER ONE priority is to KILL that GMAT. That is the first and foremost thing that will make the biggest change in your profile. At this point in time, everything else is secondary to that.
So I wish you luck and hard studying dude. Go kill that GMAT!
And if you have any other questions, don't hesitate,
JF
