Hello all,
I would highly appreciate to get some advice on my MBA profile/application. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my post and help me.
My profile:
Venezuelan/Italian Male, 26 years old.
Education:
BSc, Mechanical Engineering (2011-2017)
---- Six years seem like a lot, so here is some background: I started my undergraduate degree in Venezuela but I had to flee the country after 2.5 years in college due to the still-ongoing unstable situation. I transferred and got my degree from a Big 10 School in the US.
----GPA 3.86/4.00, Magna Cum Laude. Top 8%.
--- I was a Teaching Assistant for an introductory engineering course for over a year.
--- of the Undergraduate Consulting Club, where I completed 3 pro-bono consulting projects (4 months each) for small to medium size-companies.
---Delegate in the Model UN Club, where I participated in national and international competitions, winning the 'Best Award' in a Harvard-sponsor Model in Belgium.
Work Experience:
I will have around 3 years of full-time experience by matriculation. I am aware this is in the lower end for top BS, so I wonder if the admissions committee would take previous internships and/or volunteering experiences into their consideration.
Technology Consultant (2017-Present)
---- Primarily working as a Project Manager for multiple global IT projects such as cloud migrations and strategic procurement projects.
--- Promoted from Associate Consultant to Consultant after 18 months.
---Scrum Master and Green Belt certified. Looking to get my PMP certification before application deadline.
Startup Co-founder (10 months 2017-2018)
---Co-founded a startup. Formulated a business plan and led the strategic direction of the company. Assembled our website development team and provided ongoing managerial support while leading business development and sales.
Internship - Marketing and Communications in Transportation Industry (3 months 2016)
----Planned logistics and marketed a 2-day press event for the worldwide release of the new company’s core product, which has become its best-selling product in NA.
Internship - Product Management in Transportation Industry (3 months 2015)
----Prepared a worldwide market analysis and a competitors' analysis for a new possible product and assisted on the creation of the a global business plan to get into this market.
---Increased efficiency in processes like quoting new products and reporting financial information by 30%.
Internship - Project Coordinator in Construction Industry (6 months 2013)
---Worked in family business, where I managed budget, timelines and customer relations for small projects.
Volunteering Experience:
Board Member of a non-profit organization (Nov 2018 - Present) that focuses on Latino professionals and their professional development
Coordinator for a non-profit organization (July 2018 - Present) that mentors small businesses/startups to grow, with the goal of positively impacting local economy.
Soccer Coach (4 months 2017) for 8-9 year-old kids
Project Lead in a non-profit organization (6 months 2014) that helps underprivileged communities around the world to overcome infrastructure problems. My team and I planned the project in the US and implemented it in the Dominican Republic.
Math Professor (1 year 2012) for 7th graders in Caracas
Extras:
Hobbies: Played soccer at a semi-professional level (Venezuelan under-20 regional tournament). Currently a CrossFit enthusiast.
Languages: English, Spanish and Italian.
GMAT
My story with the GMAT has been challenging and somehow disappointing
1st attempt: 640 (Q45 V32 IR6) on Feb 4th, 2019 - Cancelled.
2nd attempt: 640 (Q45 V32 IR6 - exact same result) on March 23rd, 2019 - Cancelled.
I felt frustrated that I did not improve. Those 5 weeks between my 1st and 2nd try, I focused on reviewing my notes and doing multiple practice problems.
I am planning to try a third attempt by early June, keeping my target of 700. This time I am giving myself more time, and I am planning to get into an online Verbal course while completing as many gmatclub quant tests as possible.
Aspirations and goals:
----My short-term goal is to work in a management consulting job. I feel very passionate about solving all types of problems. With an MBA, I could expand my managerial knowledge and focus on the business strategy and operational sides. This short-term goal will be accompanied by smaller goals such as making a positive impact and create meaningful relationships with the people around me (both professionally and personally) and create strategic partnerships with them. These are stepping blocks to achieve my long-term goal.
----My long-term goal is to create a subsidized mentorship program for underprivileged young adults in Venezuela, which I believe I could put my 2 cents and help it get back on track. With the experiences I get from a top BS, where I can get the best education, and the key partnerships I create during and after my MBA, I believe I will have the necessary tools to create a top-notch mentoring program for young adults that will focus on providing business acumen and etiquette, discussing life goals and lessons learn, and creating a growth and pay-it-forward mentality.
Target BS:
I would like to move to Europe to get more international and diverse experience, and focus on getting experiences in management consulting.
UK:
• LBS
• Oxford
Spain:
• IESE
I am planning to apply in September (R1 - 2020 intake), so my question is: Are my target BS realistic to get an interview from with an overview of my profile above?
Again, thank you for taking the time to read my post! Any advice that you could provide will definitely help me prepare my application.
Regards,
Giuseppe
