Profile Evaluation Request ( Deferred MBA) [#permalink] Profile Evaluation Request ( Deferred MBA)   Updated on: 18 May 2024, 09:53
Hi! I'm looking for a profile evaluation for deferred admissions next year:

Schools: Wharton (Moelis), Columbia, Darden Future scholars, Booth, Kellog , and HAAS

Age: 25
Sex/gender : cis male
Country of citizenship: think (Singapore/South Korea/Thailand)

Currently enrolled at top 30 US university. Think (Rochester/Case Western/Brandeis)

Internship and/or work experience

Post-UG: currently finished junior spring (will recruit into F500 rotation programs or return back to previous role)

Jr summer : Strategy work at CEO’s office (think major media/entertainment conglomerate like

Disney/Warner Bros/Paramount Global)


Sophomore summer : strategy work at CEO’s office in midsized video gaming company

Internships before :

Corporate VC at HP/IBM/Intel

Startup accelerator

Military service : foreign special ops service - deployed to Middle East near Israel/Palestine for
UN peacekeeping mission ( 2 years)



School, major, GPA

Top 30 UG ( Rochester/case western /Brandeis)

Business Analytics major and Digital Media minor

3.6 GPA

International exposure and languages
- Lived in North America for most of childhood (elementary to highschool)

- 2 years in the Middle East for military service

- US undergrad

Leadership experience & Community Involvement:

UG: VP of social fraternity. Led the chapter to regain the charter and gain back our original house

Program manager at a VR/AR studio on campus


Taught English to locals during deployment in Middle East

Taught martial arts to locals during deployment in Middle East




Career Goals:
I want to work in Management Consulting for a few years in the US and return back to home country to start a media/entertainment firm.

Unique background factors:

I guess not much since my ORM status (technically a minus since I don’t come from a 3rd world country)

Maybe military deployment with the UN

I'm overall proud of what I have done, but these schools (and the deferred admission programs in particular!) are so competitive.

How can I crack one of these schools? Any tips and advice will be very much appreciated

Thank you in advance!

Aren't the deadlines of deferred MBA for this year already gone? Unless you meant next year.

I think you should start with GMAT Prep. The schools are competitive and so is your profile. I see you may have very decent chances to convert atleast one or more of your target schools but the first thing first, you need to have a valid and decent GMAT score to be competitive among the applicants.

XperidorX:

We agree with the above response. Deferred MBA programs are mostly done, but even so, you will be rushed to get in for any that are left (e.g., MIT might still be an option).

That aside, we don't think you're a particularly strong candidate for that process. You are much better off going through the regular admissions process in 2-3 years. You are clearly very motivated and have some good part-time experience under your belt. Parlay that into good full-time jobs and really work hard to build a solid early career. That will really help position you for some of the top programs.

Let us know if we can help with a few coaching sessions.
