I have read many posts here, learned a lot!
Here is my profile:
Asian Male/20 yrs/college senior at University of Pittsburgh
Finance and Economics major/3.64 GPA/4 dean's list and other rewards
GMAT: 690 (I will re-take next week again, expect to reach 710)
Strength:
I have been heavily involved in school organizations during colleges, and led one committee in student government board in my sophomore. I also did a number of volunteer works with Habitat with Humanity. One big advantage (at least I think) I have is I worked with harvard (both professors and students) on a cultural exchange program for the past 4 years and I took critical role in this program, and gained a lot experience from it.
Weakness:
My biggest concern is I do not have any full-time work experience, not even an internship. I do operate my own Amazon online bookstore, and have a security portfolio for several years, but I dont think admission take these experience seriously.
Therefore, based on my profile, which school do you suggest me to apply? if not MBA, which MS-finance do you suggest me to apply? I applied to Yale's silver scholar in Rd2 however.
Thank you!!

Jib20,
Your search should start, if not finish, with HBS Rd 3. They actively look for college seniors applying for deferred admissions. HBS 2+2 isn't a fit because you have a biz background. Silver Scholars, McCombs Scholars (at Texas), and even Stanford are all possibilities, but you'd have to bust your you know what to get apps in on time. Whereas HBS gives you time to really do it right (we work with quite a few college seniors for Harvard Rd 3) and though it is competitive, the worst case scenario is that you learn a ton about yourself, your goals, and the MBA landscape.
If you go mfin, it's a totally different thing but Princeton and MIT have to top any list there.
PM me if you want to get into this a bit more. Thanks for reaching out.
Respectfully,
Paul Lanzillotti
