Hi Guys, I'm new to Gmat Club and was curious on any feedback you all can provide.Thanks!
1) Work Experience
3 years experience as a marketing consultant for an internet marketing firm focused on the legal industry. My primary function is generating new business and I've been ranked in the top 1% of the firm's sales force for the past two years.
Prior, I had 2 years experience in the same role at a firm focused on the financial advisor industry. Likewise, I was the #1 rated salesmen both years.
2) GMAT.
700 (anticipated)
3) College info:
San Diego Christian College (business administration) - 3.93 gpa , dean's list all 8 semesters, graduated 2nd in Class, Business Major of Year.
4) extra-curricular activities or community service
college - founded the college's first Econ/Accounting tutoring program. (I oversaw as well as administered the tutoring)
post college - active in church (lead children's classes), captain of local men's basketball team
5) target programs.
Fuqua (early action), Kellogg, Marshall, Anderson
6) applying R1 2014-2015
7) post-MBA goals
Product Management
I would like to work in product management, possibly for a company in the technology sector. I greatly enjoy the entrepreneurial nature of managing a product's life cycle from inception to execution and would like to use my mba to do this on a larger scale.
My problem- I feel that I have an atypical background from many other aspiring applicants. Though I've excelled in every environment, both academically and professionally, I lack the prestigious undergrad and blue chip work experience that is commonly seen in other top applicants. I've always been a big fish in a small pond and fear that I may not fit the mold. Can this be overcome?

Hi,
Your list of schools looks slightly ambitious. You should be realistic while shortlisting b-schools. With the given info, you can target schools like: Darden, Ross, Cornell, McCombs, CMU-Tepper, Kenan-Flagler, Indiana-Kelley, Emory, Ohio-Fisher, Georgetown-McDonough, Arizona-Carey, Vanderbilt-Owen and Wisconsin-Madison. As the avg. GMAT range of these b-schools fall between 590-720, you’ll have fair chances of being accepted.
Subsequently, you need to work hard on your application essays and demonstrate leadership traits & professional achievements during final interviews. You can try your chances in b-schools by clicking https://www.general-ed.com/chances-of-bschool
Feel free to post any other concerns you might have.
Cheers!!

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that Kellogg is a long shot. Honestly, Fuqua is my first choice, and I felt I might increase my chances by applying through Early Action. My main concern wasn't the gmat, but my undergrad/employment history. If I can up the gmat, can I overcome the lack of brand recognition/pedigree on my CV? Or will top schools be reluctant to accept someone with my background? Thanks again!
Best,
David
