Hello and thank you for reviewing my profile. I graduate with a BS in Accounting this June and plan on matriculating in 2019 or 2020 to an MBA program. Wanted to make sure I'm on the right track.
Background: White American male. 26 years old.
Work experience: Started and ran an online retail business for four years while attending college. 40+ hours a week. Roughly $120k in annual revenues and 99.9% positive feedback from customers.
This summer I'll be an audit intern at my state auditor's office.
This fall I plan on becoming a staff accountant at a real estate organization or bank. Will do that for 2-3 years and hopefully get a promotion in that period before applying.
Extra curriculars: Play trivia with a team once a week. We are one of best teams in a league of ~100.
Will find volunteer work after graduation. I find the VITA program, which performs tax returns for low income individuals, appealing.
Education: Public university not well known outside of state.
GPA: 3.65 (Junior & senior years)
2.4 (Freshman & sophomore. Explained below)
GMAT: 730 (47Q, 44V, IR6) Taken this year because I planned on starting a master's in accounting this fall, but with this score I can do more.
Goal of MBA: Consulting or a role involving real estate - such as development/project management or finance.
Target schools: Pretty open at this point to top 30 programs in the west, northeast, or upper midwest - Wharton, Johnson, Booth, Kellogg, Ross, Yale, Tuck, Stern, Foster, Anderson, Marshall, Mendoza, etc
Scholarship would be nice since I won't have much money saved before attending.
***Extenuating circumstances: Had several significant deaths in the family while I was attending community college. Lots of withdrawals and repeated courses. Delayed my graduation by a few years. Eventually finished my associates degree and transferred to a 4-year where I kicked butt and will graduate with at least a 3.65 while working.
Thanks again for your valuable input!
