Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile and provide any insight. My request is to gauge my profile and probability of acceptance to a top 15 program (Columbia, Stern, Johnson etc).

GMAT: 660
Undergrad: 3.30 GPA Bachelors in Finance (Top 10 Public University (#40th +/- overall))
Graduate:3.86 GPA Masters in Accounting (Top 20 Public University (#50th +/- overall))
Experience: AVP Middle Market Commercial Banking with Investment Banking exposure experience at a top 4 bank (BAC, WF, CIT, JPM) (7 years)
Personal: 1st in Family to be born in the USA (Mother and Father were born in South America), 1st in Family to go to college, 1st in Family to graduate from Masters. I am bi-lingual (Spanish/English). Product of inner city schools and disadvantaged socioeconomic background (free or reduced lunch all through K-12).
Involvement: Volunteer to advise students from similar backgrounds on college preparation and career goals (INROADS).
Post goals: Investment Bank at the same institution I am currently employed (I have connectivity with Directors and MD's in the Investment Bank).

Please let me know if I should elaborate on anything else. Thank you in advance!

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile and provide any insight. My request is to gauge my profile and probability of acceptance to a top 15 program (Columbia, Stern, Johnson etc).
Thanks for asking @jbeta ! I will give you my thoughts below.
GMAT: 660 This could be a bubble score-- it may be enough-- or it may not be-- depending on the school.
But it is solid enough that if a program likes you for all other reasons-- they may be ok with this.
Undergrad: 3.30 GPA Bachelors in Finance (Top 10 Public University (#40th +/- overall)) This is somewhat mildly positive-- not really super strong like a 3.8 plus would be-- but not a harm either. Overall is positive
Graduate:3.86 GPA Masters in Accounting (Top 20 Public University (#50th +/- overall)) This is great.
And it shows that you can do the quant work.
Experience: AVP Middle Market Commercial Banking with Investment Banking exposure experience at a top 4 bank (BAC, WF, CIT, JPM) (7 years)
Personal: 1st in Family to be born in the USA (Mother and Father were born in South America), 1st in Family to go to college, 1st in Family to graduate from Masters. I am bi-lingual (Spanish/English). Product of inner city schools and disadvantaged socioeconomic background (free or reduced lunch all through K-12). This is a powerful story here-- first congrats for navigating through it so well. I think this message will be important to share in some way in the application
Involvement: Volunteer to advise students from similar backgrounds on college preparation and career goals (INROADS).showing that you give back is very important
Post goals: Investment Bank at the same institution I am currently employed (I have connectivity with Directors and MD's in the Investment Bank).
