Asian American from the west coast

Age 28-32

Undergrad GPA 3.4 in engineering (Top 25)
Grad GPA 3.6 in engineering (Top 10)
GMAT: 600 Q-82% V 43% aWA - 6/6

Work Experience:
I have a pretty broad set of work experience. I've worked in Japan for about 11 months after college teaching Conversation English.

I started my career after garduate school with consulting as a business consultant for a little over a year. Then I transitioned into product marketing in the tech industry.

My current position is focused on business development and strategic marketing where I am managing a new business unit to establish and to drive our marketing team to meet projected quarterly goals.

Extracurricular Activities:
I do have a bunch of extracurricular activities all the way from my days in college.

I used to be a peer counselor at the University Admissions office for the ENG dept. I was also a student body representative for my particular department to address changes in core curriculums or coursework scheduling and planning revisions.

I currently act as a Communications Chair for my graduate Alumni House Network committee and on the side, I volunteer on weekends around my immediate neigborhood and through local non-profit organizations.

Long term and short term goals:
I think i'm at a juncture in my career where I know I can definitely elevate my professional skillset and professional growth with a strong business framework. Also, I think there are a lot of abstract approaches to high level problem resolution which i would like to better understand rather than just learn by the seat of my pants.

My long term goal is to pursue an opportunity to establish a financial service company focusing on emerging markets and technologies in the developing Asia regions. My plan is to obtain an mba, step through WS with experience in a leading IB bank for 3-4years and then transition into Asia for greater regional exposure and depth.

My Options:
Yale SOM
Cornell
NYU

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

mlchang616,

You will need to raise your GMAT another 75 points minimum to have a decent chance at those schools. You sound like you have some good leadership at work and your community profile is decent. So if you raise the GMAT (aim for 700 or higher) you should do well, with admits from Cornell and Yale being more likely than NYU. Also consider Rochester.

Good luck,
