Hi,
Thanks for offering this. Truly appreciate it.
Here is my profile:
Male
25 years old - 26 in two months
From Kosovo
GMAT: after 4th attempt 700 (Q 46 V 40) AWA 6 IR 6.
GPA: 3.73 from a Kosovo branch of top 100 US schools. and a GPA of 3.25 from my one year exchange program at a liberal arts college in New York.
Work experience: Over 5 years of operating my own business in the field of operating services for off shore clients in new york and software development. Employ 5 people currently. Also have another start up firm a local online newspaper, a failed start up and a code academy with 12 students.
International Experience: waiter on MA over a summer, summer school Prague, exchange student 1 new york, internship in New York, Business competition Vienna Austria, consultant training Istanbul 3 times. exchange student at an MBA program training in entrepreneurship in an Ivy league college.
Extra curricular activities: I have tried to put to life an idea of mine in the field of social entrepreneurship. By trying to create an online meeting place for volunteers and projects - got funding, built the website, did a few projects, got an award but failed to make it sustainable and continue working with it. Other than this I have also sponsored various local music festival by building their software needs. Board members on an NGO 4 years ago.
I won a fellowship that will pay parts of tuition, living costs, plane tickets, health insurance, books etc. However, I must get a scholarship from an MBA program as well. That scholarship should be over $40k per year. Upon competition of the MBA program I will return home to work on my businesses and work on strategy consulting.
I understand I am late with applications as top schools accept and give money easier on earlier rounds, however because I waited on the fellowship answer and gmat retake, I was not able to apply earlier. So, what do you think are my chances on getting accepted with $$$ at the following schools in the last round. If you can, can you please just put them on an order from first to last based on the chances I have. Thanks.
