I am looking to apply for the fall of 2011 and would greatly appreciate any input on my profile.

27yo/Black Female
GMAT:640 (Q39, V38)
GPA: 3.6 GPA from Historically Black College

Experience:
- 3 years Investment Banking Analyst with JPMorgan (Syndicated Lending)
- 2 years Teach for America
- Working as Financial Analyst with Habitat for Humanity since May 2009 (managing loan portfolio for Habitat affiliates)
- Owner of a Smoothie Franchise since Dec. 2008 (co-own with husband; instrumental in development and marketing)


Extra curriculars:
- Tutor with serveral organizations
- Mentor with Sponsors for Educational Opportunity
- Youth basketball coach


Objective: Looking to get into mission-related investing or public finance


I just took the GMAT today. I am confident that I can improve my score.


- If I improve my score 50+ points, what are my chances for H/S/W? What is a safe GMAT level for consideration?
- Give my profile and objective, what other schools should I look at?

Thanks so much.

H/S/W all admit applicants with scores lower than yours, however I would consider a balanced score in the high 600's a score that would remove the GMATas a possible obstacle to admission. Again, that doesn't mean they don't admit with lower scores or that you shouldn't try to apply to these programs if your score does not improve..

If you improve your score by 50 points, you would have a competitive profile for H/S/W. I am assuming that you are planning to apply in Fall 2010 to matriculate in 2011.

If you don't improve your score, look into Rochester, Georgetown, Notre Dame, and UNC. If you do improve your score, also consider Columbia, Yale, Haas, and Chicago.
