Hi there,
I recently took the GMAT and am hoping to gain some insight regarding my candidate profile for FT MBA Programs (ideal matriculation in 2018).
With that in mind, please see the details of my current situation below:
Undergrad - UC Davis (2013)
Major - Economics
GPA - 3.61
GMAT - 710 (44Q 41V 8IR)
Age at Enrollment - 28
Designations - CFA Charterholder, CAIA Charterholder
Extracurriculars - Current: Local CFA Society Mentor, Local CAIA Society Member, University Finance Club Mentor, Corporate Mentor Program. Previous: University Boxing Club Member, University Financial Club Member, Local Middle School Reading Partners Club Tutor, Golden Key Honor Society Member. Additionally, I worked during my entire senior year for a major wirehouse in their PWM department.
I am currently an associate at a boutique investment bank, and prior to that I worked in the wealth management industry within two of the most well-known wirehouses (think ML, JPM, GS, CITI) for approximately three years. I am aiming to work in investment banking post-MBA, but within a technology vertical of a bulge bracket bank (looking to hop industries and level-up in terms of scale).
My major concern is that before UCD I spent four years at city college. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do (was 17 years old), and even considered attempting to become a professional boxer. It wasn't until my third year that I saw the light and began to seriously pursue a finance path (finished with a 3.07 GPA).
I am planning on applying to: Anderson, Haas, Tuck, Stern, Fuqua, Johnson, and Kellogg. To my hopeful audience....what're my chances with these programs?
Thank you in advance for any and all responses!!!

Thanks for sharing your profile. You are right at the avg academic profile for your target schools. I think Kellogg and Haas will be tough for you, but with a good application you can certainly be in play. Really nice work experience and great ECs that should help you stand out here. But I think you will be competitive for most of the schools on your list. Good luck!

I would say you are in pretty good shape for these schools, with the right application of course, so assuming that that part will be impressive as well, I would rate your chances as good.
You should, however, spend some time researching the schools and their differences as showing “fit” with the schools you do end up applying to is really important as well. You will need to explain why that particular school is ideal for you and for most applicants, a large number of business schools really aren’t (and your school list is obviously pretty long as it is) so you need to narrow that list down, based on good reasons, before you do anything else.
Good luck!
