Hello,
It looks like you’re
on your way to being a well-qualified finance applicant to top programs. That said, here are some factors to consider as you go forward with an eye toward MBA in a few years post-undergrad (as I think of them, not in any order of priority):
- Being well qualified for such competitive programs is only a starting point – especially from highly represented areas such as finance. You will need to differentiate and distinguish yourself among your industry peers – that means, among other things, having something to say, thoughtful reflections on your experiences, interesting goals, factors to show you as an engaged and engaging person – not just someone who piles up successes.
- To be well qualified, your work track record should be stellar – adcoms to these competitive programs want students who stand out among talented peers in terms of professional leadership and impact.
- Regardless of how well qualified you are for your target programs, they are always
reaches of varying degree – an important perspective to maintain as you apply.
- These schools don't want one-dimensional students. Think about and make sure you have a life beyond work – it doesn’t have to be traditional community service; the best approach is to explore and pursue your true interests.
