Hi all,
Many thanks in advance for evaluating my profile. I always thought I'd do a MBA but now I am nearing the latter stages (age 27, 7 years work experience) of my early-career, if that makes sense. I would like to know if Harvard (other top 5) in particular is a realistic chance? A top MBA will be a great opportunity but also a trade-off in short term momentum.
Background: Australian Born Chinese (parents are Malaysian Chinese). Lived 2/3rd of life in Australia and rest in Malaysia. MBA to be self funded.
Work Experience: Last 3.5 Years for Australia's Asset Manager of the Year in the Sydney investment team (part of global US based firm of 1000 associates). I am part of a multi-award winning investment team, highly regarded in the industry. I have also worked in an investment bank as a fixed income trader. I am part of a core team that runs multi-billiion dollar portfolios and we invest in bonds, equities, property, currencies etc.
Academics: 750 GMAT, 3.85 / 4.00 GPA, full-scholarship from one of Australia's top unis, topped Finance faculty all three years (unprecedented)
Other: Completed Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) - one of youngest at age 22 to pass all 3 exams
Extra-curricular: Organise Asia-Pacific development programme for younger associates in firm (40 associates) for last 3 years. Recently involved in Asia related projects including business expansion to China and Korea. I have direct clients in Singapore and travel regularly to region. These are extracurricular because these are responsibilities beyond a typical investment analyst role. Normally business strategy is reserved for senior investment members or sales associates. I have been invited to join directors development program next year as an exception (i.e. not a director). I travel frequently with regional CEO and have access to global CEO (US based). My partner and I also run a modestly successful startup. I do not have any significant volunteer or non for profit experience.
Rationale for MBA: To finesse leadership and strategy skills to become an obvious choice for CEO at my current firm or similar financial institution. I believe strategy is critical to building businesses and a top MBA will provide greater support for my corporate ambitions.
I can provide more details if required.
Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your profile. You seem to be a blue chip candidate and should be in consideration for the top 5 programs. Now these schools are clearly the best in the world so there are few "slam dunk" candidates when you get to this level but I think you have the type of background and story that will be competitive for top programs.

Hi imopening,
Wow, great profile you have and amazing gmat. (just curious of your quant and verbal percentiles). From what you have shared, sounds like you definitely have a strong profile for the top MBA programs as it seems you've got really solid academics, you've had a successful career (must demonstrate though strong leadership examples/potential particularly for Harvard), have great extra curriculars, and have a interesting international profile. Are you also considering top European schools like LBS or INSEAD? You would definitely be a good fit there considering your int'l background and experience. I say definitely go for the top 5. If you want a more specific and personal assessment, let me know as we offer free 30 minute phone consultations.
Good luck!
