Hi,
I would like if someone could evaluate my profile and advise me where I could shoot my darts in an efficient way.
My profile is a little untypical, that’s why I would be glad to receive your wise opinions.
I studied in the best high school in my country (South America) and I applied to one of the best universities to pursue an Engineering undergraduate degree. I was accepted but at that time I wasn’t sure about what I wanted to do with my life, so I rejected the offer of that university. Instead of enrolling on that program, I began to work to help my family financially speaking, and I worked in many different things from salesman to TV actor.
When I was around mid 20s I was working as a sales representative in a top international bank and I realized that wanted to learn more about the Financial Markets, that’s why at this time I decided to go back to school and I enrolled in an evening program in one of the best universities in my country to pursue an Engineering degree with major in finance.
At the end of the first year on school I purposed a project to a group of wealthy investors to set up a hedge fund, and I made it. They trusted me and the fund was formed. It last about 3 years with good and not so good times and finished past year affected by the financial crisis and the lack of management experience, but I learned a lot from it. I was involved since the legal issues to the operational ones, and was in charge for the trading of a US$10MM active portfolio.
At the present time I'm finishing my undergraduate degree by December this year, and planning to pursue an MBA (will be 34 years old when I begin the program) to have all the necessary tools to take a position within the financial industry. The main objective is to acquire more experience for a couple of years and then go back to set up again my own business in the Investment Management field, but this time do it well.
Here some numbers:
Undergraduate (5 years): Engineer with major in Finance
GPA: 3.7/4.0 (Ranked 1st of my class – Dean’s Honor Roll)
GMAT: 720 avg (Test Preparation)
Teaching Assistant: Macroeconomics I-II
Research Assistant: Department of Finance. At the present time researching on forecast of financial assets trends (Neuronal Networks, Chaos Theory, etc.). One research paper not published yet.
Military Training: Yes, 1 year (Compulsory Military Service).
According to these facts which programs would you recommend me to apply.
Thank you in advance

You will be a wild card in admissions - because of your background, it will be difficult for the adcoms to benchmark you against other applicants, and as such you will be an unknown quantity - it will be dependent on the subjective opinion of the individual adcom more than anything else - and that opinion could vary widely depending on the actual individual evaluating your case.
That's why it's hard to really say what school you should apply to. I don't know. I have no idea what you want to do post-MBA, where you want to live, and so forth. Your choice of schools should be dictated by what you want in terms of specific career paths, not just what is available.
