Hi there,
Would love to get my profile evaluated by one of you kind folks here. Beginning the MBA journey here and would love some advice based on my profile:
Target schools: my early top 5 would be HBS / GSB / Booth/ Wharton / Sloan - I favor the schools with strong General Management and Tech bias
Work experience: 4 years, 2.5 MANAGEMENT rotation program with pretty strong operations focus - 2 promotions, got to manage small (6-20 direct reports) teams in B2B sales support and Physical Warehousing, while working on cool internal consulting type process improvement projects across the business. Most recent 1.5 years spent at a fast growing DTC brand (think WP or Harry's), originally building out the distribution network, KPIs and processes, but recently promoted to a Chief of Staff/Program Manager role working directly with our head of Operations and his reports (directors/VPs) working on special projects, team strategy, process improvement.
Extra curriculars: Mentor first generation high school students in NYC for past 2.5 years, volunteer with soup kitchen every couple of months. As a first generation immigrant myself (naturalized citiznen), and someone who grew up with humble means, food security and educational opportunity/mentorship are important to me
Undergrad school/major: Non-HYP Ivy, biomedical engineering w/ econ minor
Other education/coursework: MS in Finance (part-time, '15-'16), University of Rochestor - I do some investing in my free time, and enjoy learning about (1) how to read financial statements (2) using them to value/evaluate companies, as well as theoretical stuff on options/hedging, so took advantage of my previous employer's generous tuition reimbursement program.
Diversity/Sex/Age: Asian American, Male, 26
Stats
GMAT Score (include breakdown!): 780 - 50/50 Q/V, IR: 8 and writing: 6
Undergrad GPA: 3.7
MBA Motivation
Goal of MBA: I generally enjoy the work I'm doing and think experience as an operator has been invaluable, but the content/scope within Operations is fairly narrow - I've got a bit of thirst to work on other types of business problems, particularly on the growth side of the business (working on the 10x vs the 10% improvement). This is painting with a broad brush, but generally working in Ops, it's building and improving models and processes that optimize for time/cost in product launch, build, transportation, or implementing software automation to save $$$ and time. That's the intellectual/practical reason to go, and I think consulting is a great exit to further develop/apply that MBA toolkit.
