Hi, Thank you for evaluating my profile.
27, M, White
GMAT: 670 (Q - 44, V - 37)
GPA: 3.4
Degree: BBA Marketing, Supply Chain Specialization
I have been at P&G for 4 year in the Brand-CMK function, and was promoted after 2 years (fastest timing). Job responsibilities include leadership role over research and its application into brand strategy. Roles have spanned direct brand support to corporate functions. Direct impacts have added to brand share, improved category growth, changed campaign direction for brands $0.5B+ in revenues, improved marketing vehicle ROI, innovated company analytic capabilities.
Extra curricular (undergrad):
-Marketing Director: Student org with >$1M in revenues, >2,000 members
-VP Administration: BBA Government -I co-authored BBA Honor Code
(Post-Grad)
-Founder: Junto -(organization modeled after Ben Franklin's design) -this group focused on improving young professional's involvement in personal finance, leadership & civic action.
-Participant: Habitat for Humanity (1/Quarter)
Career Objective: Switch industries to face sophisticated tech (Aerospace, Robotics) whiles till working the business side. I'm evaluating join-degree (MBA + other) programs to achieve a better working knowledge of technical fields.
Target Schools: Stanford, MIT Sloan, Harvard, Wharton, Ross, Fuqua, Booth
Questions:
1) Are these schools within reach? What would put them within reach?
2) What stats or features of my profile can help set me apart? Where should seek to improve?
3) Is a Joint-degree reasonable? What other factors should I consider (Do i need a GRE as well)
4) I'm retaking my GMAT -any specific feedback regarding my score?

Hey dude,
Are these schools within reach? Well, that's gonna depend on your GMAT lots. If you are breaking at least a 710 (although preferably a 730) then you can be in business. I mean P&G is a super solid well known firm, and if you can prove you have done well there, then you will be good in that aspect.
Your GPA is pretty good, but could be a touch higher for Top 10. And I don't know what school you are from. That will also influence your chances.
A joint degree is always possible, but it needs to make sense (you also didn't tell me WHICH joint degree you are going for), and depending on the school and degree you may need to take another test (like the GRE) to be eligible. But that depends on what you are aiming for.
But right now, as you already know your NUMBER ONE priority is to KILL that GMAT. That is the first and foremost thing that will make the biggest change in your profile. At this point in time, everything else is secondary to that.
So I wish you luck and hard studying dude. Go kill that GMAT!
And if you have any other questions, don't hesitate,
JF

JF -
Thank you for your feedback. I follow you on a clear message: kill the GMAT, & the target score is a helpful indicator. It feels challenging, but not insurmountable. Is there a side of the score I can prioritize to make bigger strides, or is it across the board improvements needed?
Again, GMAT 670 (Q - 44, V - 37, IR - 6).
To follow up on your question marks:
- I graduated from UW Madison's BBA program.
- I didn't include which joint-program because there isn't a whole lot of information catered towards it, and the limited supply creates trade-offs in the decision. Specific programs include: MIT's LGO program, Stanfords MBA/MS, and Virginia's MBA/MME (though not my first choice). That said, would you expect a GRE is needed (post-killing the gmat)?
- Also, I'm enrolling in coursera classes to get myself more hands-on familiar with coding (Python), though I've taken 40 hrs of Hadoop training. Are 'certifications' honored or just 'nice to haves.'
Curious to know how this does/does not change your assessment. Thank you for all of your time.
