I have spent three years working in finance (four years by the time I would matriculate) and am on track for promotion to a senior-level role. This is my second company, and I was promoted at my first firm as well. In my current role, I’ve had significant impact, including spearheading the company’s expansion into a new geographic region, helping resolve a major liquidity issue, and ultimately earning full oversight of an entire department. I work closely with both my direct supervisor and the CFO, who can strongly speak to my leadership, ownership, and impact in their recommendation letters.
I am 24 years old and plan to pursue investment banking post-MBA. I would ideally like to remain on the East Coast of the U.S. and attend the strongest academic program possible. Outside of work, I am involved in philanthropy as an ambassador for my local Red Cross chapter and have also started a small business. During college, I served as Vice President and Treasurer of a registered student organization with over 100 members.
Academically, I graduated with a 3.83/4.00 GPA and scored a 715 on the GMAT Focus (86V / 86Q / 84DI). Given my background and goals, I’m hoping to get feedback on whether my professional experience and overall profile would give me a good chance at these schools.

HI ,
Your academics are great and overall profile is good. You will have to make a case for why investment banking and find skills transferable from your current role to IB. Your experience with the regional expansion and handling a liquidity issue would give you understanding of identifying growth opportunities and executing on them, managing cash flows and prioritizing actions. Working with CEO/CFO is important from the perspective of understanding financial decision making. You could highlight these skills while connecting them with a vision to create larger impact with diverse clients.
The ECAS are good and keep up the good work there, building on what you already have.
In terms of b-schools you may want to add Darden to the list which is an achievable target with a decent IB pipeline.

hello,
Your profile is strong with 3.83 GPA and 715 GMAT are solid, plus real finance wins like promotions, leading expansion, fixing cash crunches, and running a dept with CFO recs backing your leadership. Just connect it to IB: your growth spotting, money management, and big-picture decisions set you up to make a bigger impact with clients post-MBA on the East Coast. ECs are good too (Red Cross, side biz, college VP). HBS/Wharton are reaches, but Columbia/Booth/Yale/Cornell look promising; add Darden for its IB pipeline.
