White Male - 27 years old
Experience: United States Marine combat veteran. Served fours years on active duty and left service as a sergeant. GREAT leadership experience, great autonomy, high-pressure decision making etc. Extensive experience with public and media relations. Also, I am a very widely published photo journalist. Think NY Times etc.
School: State school in Texas.
Degrees: Honors B.B.A Economics/Honors B.S Pure Mathematics
GPA: 3.97/4.0 (both on a 4.0/4.0 scale)
I have capstone analysis and original, published economics research to submit for consideration
GRE Scores: 163Q/166V/5.0W which are /87%/96%/93% and the total score (329) is roughly 95-96%.
Extra curricular:
volunteer as mentor for Young Marines program

In process of forming volunteer tutoring network for the local children shelter
speak basic Russian, Romanian and Spanish. I have basic programming experience and extensive experience with R statistical software and Matlab.
Recommendations: Two graduates of Booth
Schools - H/S, Booth, Som, Tuck, McCombs, Wharton etc. Will apply to every school in top 20 that seems like a good fit and also waives military app fees.
I am considering doing third round applications. Is this a mistake?
concerns:
- school is completely unrecognized.
