27 year-old white male
Undergrad:
Allegheny College (liberal arts in Pennsylvania)
Undergrad Major: B.S. Chemistry
Undergrad Minors: Economics, Biology
GPA: 3.0
GMAT:
730
Q47
V44
Professional experience:
Certainly unique, but I'm unsure if it is appealing to adcoms.
I work for a small manufacturer of specialty chemical additives for the coatings, adhesives, and composites industry. I began as a developmental chemist in the R&D lab. After about 1 year, I was promoted to a technical sales representative role, and given a new territory to develop. This is a business to business sales role in which I interact with other small businesses as well as many of the top 10 paint and coatings manufacturers, several tier 1 & 2 automotive suppliers. I have been able to generate a pipeline of new opportunities in both new and existing markets. Working for my current employer has allowed by to have a high level of autonomy and a number of unique experiences. Do adcoms find this type of experience desirable?
In total, I will have 63 months of work experience at the time of matriculation in the fall of 2019.
Extracurricular:
Involvement in several professional networking organizations in the composites, coatings and adhesives industries. I am also involved in my local church, running clubs, and multiple casual soccer leagues.
Target Schools:
In order of preference: Vanderbilt Owen, Carnegie Mellon Tepper, Emory Goizueta, UNC Kenan-Flagler
I would like to focus on business development strategy, product management, and entrepreneurship.
Is my GPA going to cripple my application? Is business to business sales success favorable for applying?

Hey,
I think you have a good profile and an amazing GMAT score. I think your B2B marketing experience rather speaks more to your business interest and makes sense as to why you want to pursue an MBA. Moreover, MBA is for both industry switchers and career progressors alike. Any kind of work ex is appreciated in my opinion.
Oh, one more thing, your GMAT score dissuades any concern about your GPA! Your school list is awesome but are you playing safe?
Good Luck!

Thank you for the insight and encouragement!
I had considered applying to Fuqua and Darden, but I was uncertain if those would be reaches for my background. I see so many excellent profiles here that have strong finance and consulting backgrounds.
