Hi!
I'm looking to apply this year for the fall intake of 2016. Thanks a lot in advance
.
Age: 28
Nationality: Canadian caucasian male
GPA: 3.0 (transcript shows 2.98 which really hurts) with heavy upwards trend (senior year GPA of 3.7). Major in Electrical Engineering from a Canadian University.
GMAT: Taking in a couple of weeks, but based off of practice tests, I'm currently looking at ~720.
WE: 2 years with a major mining company in the sub-arctic in a technical role. Acted as project lead on a couple of projects and instructed others during project commissioning. Currently 1.5 years into a role as an engineering consultant with a small firm in Atlantic Canada. Basically doing automation projects for multiple industries and interacting with both major multi-national companies and small startups. I handle my own hours, time and material budgetting, cost estimates, instructing work during commissioning, etc. in addition to design work.
Rec: I'm an avid salsa dancer and former competitive powerlifter. Helped teach salsa classes for a year while in university, participated in many volunteer events and was a track athlete for a couple of years in university before studies became too difficult and I needed to focus more on them.
ECs: current Co-Chair of recruitment on a cancer non-profit board. Helped plan an event that raised $75,000 for research. Worked as a volunteer firefighter for a year while working in the mining company (stopped when I moved for the new job since the opportunity wasn't available to pick it back up). I was an RA in residence at my university for a couple of years before I was taking too much on and school became too stressful.
Target schools: CBS, NYU, Oxford Said, Cambridge Judge, Cornell
My goal is to pursue renewable energy development opportunities in my home province of Newfoundland (lots of potential development there) in a management role (management consulting or project/general management). It's worth mentioning that while I was doing my undergrad., I had 2 4 month work terms doing R&D with wind turbine power forecasting with a large multi-national engineering firm. It really sparked my interest in the field and it coincides with the sudden sharp rise in my grades (had 1 term before my 2nd last senior term and the other in between my 2nd last and final senior term). The region I'm from (Newfoundland in Canada) has an enormous store of potential wind energy development and I want to be involved.
How are my chances at the schools listed above? (assuming I get the expected 720 on GMAT. gunning for 730+ though) I'm really not sure how competitive I will be.
Thanks so much for your assessment!
