Hi there!
Gonna jump in with a profile summary out of general curiosity but also feel it's a good exercise in summarizing my story while prepping for essays and interviews.
Target School:
University of Washington - Foster School of BusinessAlso apply to: Columbia Business School, University of Chicago - Booth School of Business, and New York University - Stern School of Business
White male, US Nationality, Age 26 at matriculation
BS Industrial Engineering from a top 5 US engineering program, honors college with named scholarships and finished top 15% of my class
GMAT: 700 (Q47 V40, IR 7, AWA 6) *side note, I still am surprised this composite wasn't a 710 but oh well!*
4 years in supply chain strategy consulting at a medium-sized US consulting firm, lots of Fortune 500 exec interaction, data analysis, and breadth of industry experience. Also received several promotions ahead of my peers.
Community / extracurriculars: Recruiting lead at my firm, so lots of interviewing, career fairs, and onboarding. Volunteer at my alma mater to review resumes and talk with students about consulting careers and interview prep. Also I have been a guest lecturer at a top 25 business school (for an undergraduate class) where I lecture on strategy trends in supply chain and where the industry is going
Post MBA goals: corporate strategy associate or finance LDP for big tech / Fortune 50 company in the US
Anything else: my intention is to highlight the things which make my profile unique (modest upbringing, focus on supply chain strategy during COVID).
I'm currently planning to seek LORs from my current supervisor and a senior exec at my firm who knows me well and can speak to my performance in relation to my peers.
Would love to hear a ballpark percentage chance of admission based on my profile (is it 60%? 80%? Dare I say 90%?) Thank you!
