Profile Review Request/Retake GMAT Essential? [#permalink] Post 05 Jan 2015, 16:17
Hi all!

I am requesting a profile review. The schools I am looking at are Columbia, NYU, Kellogg, Chicago, Cornell, Wharton, Harvard, Tuck, Virginia, Duke, and UofT Austin. I am going to have a Finance concentration. My top 5 choices (ideal) would be to get into Columbia, NYU, Chicago, Wharton, or Kellogg. I will be applying this Fall for entry in Fall of 2016.

Gender: Male
Race: Hispanic White (Cuban)
Age: 28 at application
Current income range: $45,000-$55,000
GMAT: 680 (43Q, 41V)
GMATPrep Scores prior to GMAT: 640 on first practice exam on 12/5/2014 and 760 on second practice exam on 1/2/2014
Recent Academic Achievements: CFA Level 1 Pass (CFA Level 2 Candidate for June 2015; may pass before applying), CAIA Level 1 Pass.
Undergraduate GPA: 3.20
Undergraduate School: University of Florida
Undergraduate Concentration: Major in Economics, Minor in Business Administration
*Note: I also took heavy mathematics courses including Calculus 1, 2, 3 and Differential Equations
Work Experience at application (months): 72
Work Experience Industry: Finance and retail
Post-Graduation Job Focus: Financial Research and Analysis

Thank you for all and any insight!

Hey there,
So, I'd love to help you out dude, but I need a lot more info from you to find out where you might apply with success. Like your job, the length of your employment, your greatest achievements, info about your volunteer work, and extra curricular activities, and basically ALL the things the AdCom will look at.


The second thing is that if you CAN get a higher GMAT (which seems like it from this Mock GMAT) you may want to take another stab at the GMAT (of course only when you are perfectly ready). But why not, since anyhow you will be applying next year?!

Feel free to drop by and fill out a form for a free evaluation: https://bit.ly/mbafcGC

Best,
Jon

Jon,

Awesome, dude.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
