Hello,
Could you please give a review to my wife's and mine profiles?
Profile 1:
White, Female, Russian, 24, will be almost 26 by the time of enrollment
GMAT:haven't taken yet
Undergrad: Bachelor in business administration from top-10 University in my country (Russia)
GPA: 3.95/4 on the US system
Experience:
Currently 3 years (1 year intern + 2 full-time). By the time of enrollment will be more than 4 years as descrived below
1) 2 years in one of the world's largest pharmaceutical comanies (sanofi) in brand-marketing (1 year as an intern and 1 year as a brand manager)
2) Brand manager for the digital projects (website, instagram, facebook, bloggers, etc) in kimberly-clark company for the largest brand - will be 2 years by the time of admission.
Profile 2:
White, male, 25, will be 26,5 by the time of enrollment
GMAT: 740, but need to retake as it expires exactly 1 month before the r1 deadlines. Hope to score 740 again
Undergrad: Specialist (5 year program - something between bs and ms) in computational mathematics and cybernetics from top-1 University in my country (Russia)
GPA: 3.2/4 on the US system
Experience:
Currently 4 years of management consulting - will be 5 by the time of enrollment
1) 2 years as an intern in Big4, tier-2 and big3 management consultancies
2) Currently 2 years full-time experience in BCG (tier-1 consulting). Will be 3,5 by the time of enrollment
Target is US only (thinking of all schools from top-10 USnews ranking). Want to go to the same school, but maybe will go to different schools if they will be close (see Kellog/Booth, etc)
What are the chances for each of us to get into top schools
For me (profile 2) I would see Stanford and MIT as top target schools as I seek to transition to technology field.
For my Wife (profile 1) there needs to be something marketing focused (Kellog?)
Thank you in advance,
Mikhail
