Hello,
I am looking for a profile review. White, Female, 28 yrs old, 29 when matriculating
School:
BS Chemical Engineering from a top 10 Engineering school
Clubs: Officer of Alpha Chi Sigma (professional Chemistry fraternity)
Member AICHE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers)
GPA: 3.58
Deans List
Semester honors multiple semesters
Black mark: Disciplinary Probation my senior year for being intoxicated on campus. I am not sure exactly what the charge was and will attempt to contact the University to determine this.
Work Experience:
Company 1 - Top Tier Consumer Products company June 2010 - July 2011
Title: Process Engineer
Involvement in Work Groups:
Led the community service organization
Member of the Women In Business Group
Member of the Young Professionals group - Community service
Company 2 - Number one Chemical Company
Title - Process Engineer Aug 2011 - Dec 2015
Title - Quality Management Coordinator Dec 2015 - Present
Involvement in Work Groups:
Officer for Toastmasters (and founding member)
Vice President of Professional Development for LGBT group (new position)
Member of the community service organization
Member Women in Business
Community Service post-College
Volunteer for a local produce cooperative for the past 2.5 years with more than 60 hours per year
- Retail/product handling experience
- took over the shop table last year
Volunteered for a few months at the Humane Society before I moved for my second job - very small amount of service
GMAT: 760, V44, Q49, AWA-8, IR-6
MBA Goals:
Consulting - initially with a large firm (MBB or Deloitte)
Long term - move to industry to do internal consulting for a major company in Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, or Chemicals
LORs:
I am unable to get one from my current or previous supervisors from Company 2 - in this climate for chemical engineers it is not worth it to let them know that I am considering leaving the company. Also my previous supervisor here is very much anti-MBA.
I have requested one from a mentor who acted as the Engineering Manager on my last project (where I was Lead Process Engineer)
I am also trying to get a previous supervisor from Company 1 (supervised me over 3 years ago)
If I can't get him, I have a mentor from when I first started at Company 2 and a colleague who has been mentoring me in my new position - Any advice here?
Target Schools: Booth, Wharton, Kellogg
Back ups: McCombs, Anderson
Thanks for your help!

Hi @Inskoog
I see your profile below and will provide some general thoughts here:
White, Female, 28 yrs old, 29 when matriculating (sweet spot in terms of age and experience, female provides some edge)
School:
BS Chemical Engineering from a top 10 Engineering school (excellent academics)
Clubs: Officer of Alpha Chi Sigma (professional Chemistry fraternity)
Member AICHE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers)
GPA: 3.58
Deans List
Semester honors multiple semesters
Black mark: Disciplinary Probation my senior year for being intoxicated on campus. I am not sure exactly what the charge was and will attempt to contact the University to determine this. (You will need to address this but not as an excuse but simply be upfront that you made a mistake and that you learned from it and in the many years that have passed it has not happened again. simple, quick, no excuses, learned lesson and moved on.)
Work Experience: (work is good but from this profile not necessarily something that will set you apart- however it will be how you tell the story that matters and that's where Stratus Prep can help you)
Company 1 - Top Tier Consumer Products company June 2010 - July 2011

Title - Quality Management Coordinator Dec 2015 - Present
Involvement in Work Groups:
Officer for Toastmasters (and founding member)
Vice President of Professional Development for LGBT group (new position) (Many schools want to make sure they can show leadership and inclusivity in the area so providing details on how you've made a contribution in the club keeps the focus on your results while also indirectly letting them know that you can be an active part of LGBT groups at their school too)

GMAT: 760, V44, Q49, AWA-8, IR-6 (Certainly this score will get some attention for overall result) You will have the opportunity to make your case heard.

(When people find that their job is at risk by revealing MBA plans the best way to handle is to simply put this in an optional essay why you chose the recommenders that you did. The person you choose, if not your direct boss, should be someone in a supervisory role who can speak to your accomplishments.)
Target Schools: Booth, Wharton, Kellogg (All worth pursuing and again- Stratus has expertise guiding people to acceptances at all these schools)
Back ups: McCombs, Anderson (yes and possibly look for scholarship options here)
Thanks for your help
