Hello Everyone,
Long time lurker on the forum here.
I started studying for the GMAT in April and took the exam in August, scoring a 740.
This was stronger than anticipated and I am now considering applying this cycle as opposed to next year.
I am about to be 24 years old and graduated from a top 30 undergrad in May 2019, double majoring in Economics and Public Policy with minor in History. GPA 3.2. During my undergrad experience, I served in leadership roles in a diverse set of extracurricular clubs such as Special Olympics, Accounting club, Honors Fraternity, etc.
During college, I gained about 2 years of internship and part-time work experience in automotive, investment banking, marketing, and government contracting. Upon graduating, I began a full-time position with a major automotive manufacturer that I interned with the summer before. I work in the sales operations department as an area manager, a job I probably wouldn't have gotten if it weren't for the internship. I received a promotion rapidly in November 2019 and regularly post exceptional performance numbers, edging out more experienced colleagues regularly. I also interact with directors in my company regularly and have received recognition multiple times from VP's. I am anticipating another promotion within 6 months. Cars are my personal passion and I love being able to work this into my career.
I wish to stay in the automotive/transportation industry upon completion of my MBA but hope to be working on much bigger picture concepts. I foresee many changes taking place in the automotive industry such as the transition to electric vehicles, autonomous driving, digitization of retailing, and more. All of the major consulting firms have departments focusing on the future of mobility for our society. I would love to work for one of these firms as a consultant and help shape the future of how our society moves and how companies adapt to the incoming industry shifts. However, I lack many hard and soft skills needed to get into these roles. A top tier MBA would give me the skills, experience, and networking needed to get into these roles.
I will be at a little over 1.5 years of experience at application and 2.25 at matriculation.
I have received mixed feedback on whether I am qualified for an MBA and if it is too early in my career. I am very certain on my career path and have been for a long time.
I would appreciate any feedback from the community.
Target Schools: Northwestern Kellogg, Berkley Haas, UVA Darden, UMich Ross, Duke Fuqua

NuancedNoob,
In fact you are just right for many deferred MBAs from top tier schools. The best part of these, you can secure a seat for yourself now, and join later. Happy to do a detailed profile evaluation over a 30 min call.

Hi
At first glance, you have a great profile and a lot of MBA programs will likely love you from an admissions perspective!I entered my MBA( at one of your listed target schools) with a similar profile actually and here is what I experienced as the tradeoffs. My classmates were much more experienced than me and in classroom discussions they contributed a lot from that perspective so I felt I missed out on some key experience of the classroom. Additionally recruiting was much tougher for me because I did not also have the experience edge most companies came looking for that my classmates could leverage. I was convincing companies to hire me on potential instead but a starring resume would have been better. Consulting may definitely be a better industry to aspire to from that perspective. I however overall do not regret my MBA decision and had an incredible experience. I just still wonder if it would have been better had I given myself a little more time before taking on this journey.
I am an admissions consultant with my firm Zambuko Advisory. Look us up and schedule a chat to talk about how you can optimize your profile for the coming admissions cycle.
