Hello,
I'm in need of some profile evaluation for my application this fall for a program starting fall 2011. Any advice is extremely appreciated!
Career goals:
1. Shift from high-tech project management to a corporate finance role. Staying in high-tech industry could be most beneficial but I'm not against changing industries.
2. Get international again by working post-MBA in Europe before eventually coming back to U.S.
Programs must be:
more than one year in length, very international class, global brand recognition, great reputation in finance, opportunities for internships, study abroad/exchange programs, in a big city, and not too small.
Demographics: White, American, Male, 27 years old. Grew up in USA except for 2 years in Sweden as a teenager, unfortunately only fluent in English since I attended an international school, but working on Spanish now.
Undergrad: Computer Science major, Business minor. Overall GPA: 3.5 (Cum Laude). Large Top 50 University.
GMAT: 710 (92%), Q49 (87%), V38 (83%), AWA 5.5
Work Experience:
4 years (5 by matriculation) at mid-sized high-tech company that is consistently on Fortune 100 Companies to Work For. 2 years interacting with customers, then 2 years project management and supervising of engineers.
Entrepreneurial (all part-time while at job above full-time):
Invested in real estate properties, manage my own 4-plex and condo, manage a stock portfolio.
Was co-founder of software start-up that was sold to another company.
Co-founder of another innovative start-up currently being developed.
Also traveled to 32 countries but most of it was with family, so only a couple trips to really tell independent stories about.
Do these schools all seem to be a big stretch, or some within reach with strong essays? I'm not looking for a safety school at this point, but have tried to lump them into rounds.
Round 1?
- LBS
- Wharton
- Columbia
- MIT
Round 2?
- IESE
- Chicago
- NYU
Thanks!

I think you're choosing a good range of schools - you should be able to get into at least one of them (or even a few of them). It really just comes down to focusing on your applications, and hoping for the best. Sounds like you know what you're after and just looking for reassurance -- you're on the right track.

Thank you Alex! That is reassuring 
Does anything about my profile stick out as something that I should bring up more or less between my round 1 schools, to focus on what they look for?
