Hi Paul,
I was denied by a number of top programs last year. At this point, I am considering reapplying at the age of 33 but not sure whether it is worth the effort. Your opinion is very much appreciated.
I am considering re-applying to Wharton, Columbia, and perhaps Chicago. I am also thinking about Tuck, Hass, and UCLA.
GMAT - 720 (46 in Quant and 44 in Verbal) and 6.0 in AWA on my second attempt.
I received my undergrad degree in History from Georgetown with a 3.2GPA. Then I received a fellowship sponsored by Georgetown and National Chengchi University (one of the top school in Taiwan) to do non-degree grad study in International Trade for a year. 85/100 for grade with an average of 80 being the cut off for an A.
5 years of working experience in Asia (Hong Kong, China, Singapore) in banking and strategy consulting. Last job in HK was a failed Internet venture.
After one year off to study advanced level Chinese and volunteer work, I moved back to the US. I have been working with a major investment bank for 3.5 years (first in operations and now in trading). I am leading a team of five trade support staff while learning more about trading derivatives on a trading desk.
During my undergrad and grad studies times, I work part-time jobs and had various internships (US Agency of Int’l Development, C-SPAN, and an investment bank).
When I was in Hong Kong, I was the club treasurer for the GU Club in Hong Kong for more than 3 years. I also volunteer for an elderly-focused organization that managed out-reach program during my unemployment period. I am currently volunteering as a tutor for children who are affected by HIV (themselves or families). My new role is to function as a trainer for new volunteer tutors.
My goal for MBA is to focus on international business and finance. I have two sets of goals
1) Strategy consulting in financial services and then run a financial services company in Asia
2) Move into investment management and perhaps start my investment/advisory firm in the future.
My concerns are
1) my age and change in location/career, which hurts my title (some concerns were raised about my career progress and career goal)
2) relatively low GPA from a top school in the US
3) failure to gain admissions to the top 7 program last year (I was admitted to a top 15 program last year. Have I reach my “maxâ€

Thank you Paul. Here is a related re-apply question. How can I put a "wow" factor when presenting my professional and leadership experience. Many of us applicants have very solid experience (professionally or community wise), but how can we make this stand out among many outstanding applicants?
