Hi! I am a 24 year old Japanese girl with a BS and MS in mechanical engineering. I went to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (a well respected engineering school) and got a 3.2 in my undergra d and a 3.6 in my masters. I played varsity basketball for 2 years in college and then quit because my grades weren't that great. My freshman year is what really killed me during undergrad, I was immature and suffered from poor time management. But as I got older my grades improved significantly and I made deans list my junior and senior year. I was also put into an athletic leadership program as a freshman, I was elected by my coaches and teammates. I was also captain of my HS basketball and AAU teams. I also played 2 years of club lax.
I am currently in the engineering rotation leadership program at GE, and within my program I also hold a few leadership roles. I went to Japanese school for 10 years growing up and am bilingual. I haven't taken the GMAT yet... I'm taking on June 21st (wish me luck!). I know that it can be difficult to make a profile evaluation without a GMAT score but I am SO anxious to hear what consultants may think about my profile. I can send a resume as well.
I am aiming for all top ten schools, HBS, MIT, Wharton, Booth, Columbia, Tuck and maybe Stanford (I may not apply for geographical reasons, I am more interested interested in the Northeast)
Thanks!!

Hi there,
Actually responded to you earlier on another thread you had posted on; overall things are looking good and the focus is on what you can still change, right-- your GMAT (good luck!!!) and your essays! It's good that the GPA trend over time was upwards, and you have the masters degree GPA even more recent so that helps as well.
Side note if you are unsure about Stanford I'd maybe not spend the time/$$ in applying.... it's literally the toughest school out there to get into, smaller class size than a lot of other top programs, most selective, highest average GMAT score... tough for ANYONE, so not saying it's impossible but if you are on the fence of whether you'd go there, that could be a reason not to focus on it and instead invest time in schools you'd really love to go to.
You mentioned submitting a resume; if you'd like you can sign up for a free 30 min consult with us, and at that time you do submit a resume and answer some q's and we'll provide a more in depth profile review and answer any q's at all by phone, you register at https://www.mbamission.com/consult.php. Purely 30 min for you and your q's.
Also happy to help here. Good luck!
