Thanks very much for your help! Would like to figure out what my possibilities are for US Business school including some burning questions:
Demographics: 26-year-old East Asian guy growing up in Pan Western Europe country (Germany/Netherlands/France) from 8 years old, with European passport. --> Question: Would I be put into the Asian pool of applicants or Western European pool of applicants for Business schools? How would this impact my success rate?
Undergrad: Top 3 University in Country, Top 1 Uni for Economics (7,2 in Quant Finance/Statistics)
Master: Same University, (7,0 in Quant Finance)
Part of community for diversity and inclusion in university
Experience: 1,5 years at Big 4 valuations, 1 year Accenture MC (Planning to apply to business school after having 2 years experience here), so 3,5 years experience in total.
No extracurricular activity --> Question: How big of a deal is this? Would it be very beneficial to start with some volunteering work now?
GMAT:720
What would my chances at the following schools?
1. Yale
2. Harvard
3. Wharton
4. Cornell
5. Columbia
Would I have more chance for European Business schools? (e.g INSEAD, LBS)?
Many thanks for your time,
Hey there,
And good to hear from you!
Now, I'd LOVE to help you out and get down with your profile.
The thing is I am missing detail.
I need a LOT more info from you - school name, titles, promotions, greatest achievements, sports, community service, religious involvement, leadership.. etc. before I can give you a real evaluation.
It will also be very helpful if you can elaborate upon your goals.
Have a look at some of the other very detailed profile requests on this board and do something similar and I'll be happy to get back to you.
I would say your profile is pretty good, but Im missing that "something extra". What is unique and special about you?
without any voolunteer work and coming from Big 4, I think it might be better to adjust your school list to Top 15-20.
Anyhow, still waiting on more info from you.
Best,
JF
