Hi Kate and Brian:
Here is my info. I am applying Columbia and Stern 2017 regular admission.
-Undergraduate GPA 3.17 in Accounting in a city college.
-Graduate GPA 3.5 in Accounting in a city college.
-Licensed Certified Public Accountant.
-Less than 1 year (9 months) experiences in IRS. I had leadership experiences and led about 10-15 people (not on regular basis; more likely 2 days in a week).
-2 years experiences in PwC, doing tax for real estate industry investment fund and trust. I had leadership experiences and led about 10 associates. Also had special experiences because of a dual practice program. This experience connects me directly to the management partner or director.
-GMAT 710 (did 4 years ago. I used this for accounting graduate school application).
-Extensive volunteer experiences - helped low income people report tax for over 3 years.
-Active member in a professional club - helped students with interview, resume, career decision in accounting and tax profession.
-Currently salary is 75,000 and will highly likely be promoted next year before MBA start (if enrolled).
Thanks for the advice and time spent on reading.

Hi Kate and Brian:
Here is my info. I am applying Columbia and Stern 2017 regular admission.
-Undergraduate GPA 3.17 in Accounting in a city college. A little low....is there an upward trend? Anything worth explaining in an optional essay?
-Graduate GPA 3.5 in Accounting in a city college. Much better, but not every applicant has a Master's so the Undergrad GPA will still matter.
-Licensed Certified Public Accountant.
-Less than 1 year (9 months) experiences in IRS. I had leadership experiences and led about 10-15 people (not on regular basis; more likely 2 days in a week).
-2 years experiences in PwC, doing tax for real estate industry investment fund and trust. I had leadership experiences and led about 10 associates. Also had special experiences because of a dual practice program. This experience connects me directly to the management partner or director. Great! I like the mix of private & public sector experience, the team leadership, and exposure to management. Can you show client interaction / impact too? Soft skills in addition to your technical / analytical skills? Those are the sorts of things you should be sure to highlight too.
-GMAT 710 (did 4 years ago. I used this for accounting graduate school application). This is a strong score. But it will be slightly below average for both NYU and Columbia.
-Extensive volunteer experiences - helped low income people report tax for over 3 years. Excellent! Great to see the long tenure and connection to your work.
-Active member in a professional club - helped students with interview, resume, career decision in accounting and tax profession. I assume this was during college? If so, that's great too, though current extracurriculars will be weighed more.
-Currently salary is 75,000 and will highly likely be promoted next year before MBA start (if enrolled). Great! See if you can get your recommender to mention that you are on track for a promotion in his/her letter. That will provide nice backup for your career trajectory.
