Hello, and thank you in advance for your feedback. I'm looking to get into a top tier MBA program that has specialties in entrepreneurship. I'm also considering a dual/joint degree in Engineering with a focus on aerospace engineering, or to simply take classes in those fields, although this is not a main requirement. My top choices for schools are Stanford, MIT, Michigan, UT Austin, and Berkeley. My profile is as follow:
3.5 years of work experience.
- 1 yr of Finance in Trading
- 2.5 of sales and sales manager at a top solar company. Top 10% in sales consistently, large improvements on KPIs as a manger. Promoted twice in my time here.
Also had about 6 months in between the jobs where I pursued a personally venture in eSports. It was not successful, but I gained important knowledge and, realistically, wisdom. Not sure if this hurts or helps.
3.65 GPA with Honors at The University of Arizona in Finance and Entrepreneurship (from the McGuire Center)
740 GMAT Q50/V41
8 IR
Naturalized US Citizen, originally born in China
No recent volunteer experience, aside from some time at the local food bank
Also passed the Level 1 CFA prior to leaving the industry, not sure if that's relevant
Goals for getting into an MBA program: Learn how to effectively start and lead a team in a developing industry, preferably as a start-up. One of the main reasons for my current employment is to gain the basic skills (sales, management) in order to develop them into superior skills through an MBA program.
Please let me know where I can focus on to increase my chances as much as possible, as I'm afraid to come across as generic.
