Hi!
Could someone please evaluate if I am on the right track for M7 and top 10 MBA programs in the US?
740 GMAT (49Q/42V)
3.3 GPA, double major in Finance/Philosophy at UT Austin
WE will be 3 years at matriculation at well known/regarded F500, doing their LDP rotational program, specifically in finance rotations.
For ECs, I spent a few months volunteering abroad with an NGO between when I graduated and when I started working, and I have lots of leadership positions for college extracurriculars, but nothing since I graduated and started working.
I plan on applying Round 1 when my 3 rotations are finished, using an MBA consultation service, so hopefully execution of the app will be good (also open to recommendations on a good admissions consultant). Currently I am thinking about CBS, Booth, Kellogg. I want to know if that is realistic or not, and what I can do to improve my chances.
There's a bit of time before I apply, so I plan on volunteering more, taking some online classes to make up for my undergrad GPA, and will hopefully have passed first two levels of the CFA exam by then (if that has any benefit on my application).
Any feedback or thoughts would be appreciated!
Thank you
Hey Gary,
Well what I like most about your profile is that with the whole Finance + Philosophy, or money + NGO profile, it really does make for a unique candidacy. Not many are the candidates who situate themselves on both sides of the divide, and I think that you have the potential here to tell a really unique story.
So the question for me would be : How do you make the most of this? What do you REALLY want to do? And how can you tell a story that is full of passion and excitement?
Do that, and you should be good to go!
Best of luck,
close
