Hello,
Can you please evaluate my profile?
US Citizen, Male, Asian American
Age at matriculation- 26
GMAT- 700
Undergrad School- Community College for 2 years then UC Riverside for 2 years
Undergrad GPA- 3.8 Transfer GPA & 3.15 at a 4 Year GPA- Combined GPA is roughly 3.47
Degree- Bachelors in business administration with a concentration in financial economics
Work Exp - Financial Advisor for 1.5 years at boutique financial services firm
Part of a team that specialized in working with business owners in areas such as: advanced estate planning, business tax planning, and succession planning. Took this job right out of college for one reason: I knew that my presentation skills, sales skills, and relationship building skills were lacking and I wanted to put myself in a position that would force me to improve those skills. This was not the scenario where a college grad joins a company and starts selling insurance.
After that I began working at AAA Insurance as a Product Management Analyst. I took this role because it requires the analyst to lead multiple projects while working with multiple departments to directly meet and exceed revenue, sales goal, and retention goals for the company. This role involves presenting recommendations to executives that would impact the company. I will have worked here for 2.5 years when I matriculate at an MBA school. Prospect for me to receive a promotion looks slim not because I am undeserving but because it takes a long time for people to get promoted (i.e. all the managers in my department were working for 7+ years before they got promoted)
Extra Curriculars-
I have been the Vice President of a Young Entrepreneurs Organization for 2 years. The objective of this group is to promote an environment for young entrepreneurs to network, incubate ideas, form partnerships and learn from experts (we host a monthly workshop where we bring in a speaker). My responsibility is to increase our member base and increase participation at our events. We have grown to 1,500+ members and average 25 members per event.
I take health and wellness seriously, I eat right and consistently exercise 3 days a week and play basketball 4 days a week. Not sure if I can incorporate that in any way.
I have formed a Volunteer Organization. This is simply an organization where I post volunteer events and get groups of people to come out. I typically volunteer a couple times a month and have been doing this for about a year.
Goals with MBA:
Short Term: Management Consulting
Long Term: C-Suite Executive
Target schools: Booth, Kellogg, Darden, Ross, Cornell, Duke, UNC, McCombs, NYU, Columbia and USC.

Hey there good sir!
So let's jump in and have a look at your profile strengths and weaknesses:
Strengths:
- Good diverse work experience in desired industry
- Very good GPA
- Young Entrepreneurs (strong leadership in EC)
Weaknesses:
- Non-target UG
- GMAT is low for Top 10 programs
- Asian-American
Overall I think your school list is a bit tough but if you keep in MCCombs, UNC and USC I think you will be fine. The only question I would have is: Would it be worthwhile for you to consider retaking the GMAT for the chance of getting 30-40 points more and giving yourself stronger chances at the top of your list? I don't have an answer for you as this is something you should think about based on your current situation as well as your potential to get that score, but I wanted to at least mention it,
Hope this helps!
And if you have any other questions, don't hesitate,
Best,
JF
