Hi Everyone,
I recently graduated from Missouri State University (August 2015) as an International Student with my major being Marketing Management
Male,
GMAT score : 730
GPA: 3.44
Lived in and received college-level instruction in 3 different continents (USA, Belgium, UAE)
Work experience - Started as a janitor, promoted to the front desk, and then promoted to Building Manager all within a relatively short amount of time (Less than 1.5 years)
In the process of learning my 3rd language
Youngest ever employee of Etihad Airways, one of the worlds leading airlines (17 Years old). Currently with American Airlines
Strong multi-cultural background with diversity management and international business training
Received a number of scholarships and awards for : Public Speaking, Academic Merit, Presentations, Essay writing.
Probably irrelevant but - High school soccer (Won nationals 4 years in a row), AS Level results Math (A), Geography (A), ICT (B)
My biggest concern:
Although I have experienced a lot first hand business and college-level experience across the world, I am only 22 years old.
My work experience pre-graduation and postgraduation adds up to about 3.5 Years by Sep 2016 - Which is when I am hoping to apply for
However my postgraduation work experience would only be about 1 year by Sep 2016 - Well below the average.
I also believe I can do a lot better in my GMAT, I got 730 by studying for less than a month and really had never even looked at a GMAT exam until I walked in to do, so I am taking it again in December with more preparation. I understand it probably would not make much of a difference, but I can never be happy with something when I know I could have done better haha.
Thanks guys!!

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your information. The good news is that you're starting early in the process and you have a lot of opportunities to improve your profile. If you're looking to apply to traditional 2-year programs right away, your chances are slim to none with your level of work experience. What role do you have at AA now? You'll want to focus on developing your leadership skills and working to move up to earn at least a promotion or two before you apply to an MBA program (especially if you're looking at a top 10). Also, what involvement opportunities are you looking to join? Focus on earning a leadership role here as well to truly impact the organization. All in all, I suggest working on these aspects of your profile over the next year and a half and planning to apply then. Best of luck on your next steps!

I appreciate you getting back to me! Yes I have been told that my lack of full-time work experience will probably severely affect my chances of admission. I have been looking a lot into MiM programs, such as the the MMS at Duke Fuqua. If you do know a little bit about it, would you say I'm a good candidate? I understand they do not require as much FT WE.
Thanks again for your help!
