So I have posted a few times in the past to get advice as I have built my resume, but now I am 6 months out from applying, can't do a whole lot to change my profile at this point, and want to hear some truth. Here goes, and look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts:
-750 GMAT (49Q, 44V)
-3.95 GPA in Economics from top midwestern private university (i.e. Wash U, Northwestern, U Chicago)
-25 year old bi-racial male (half asian, half white)
-2 years at Deloitte in S&O consulting followed by 2 years (at matriculation) in the Corp. Strategy group at a F500 retailer. Promoted within first year at the retailer and have strong exposure to senior executives at the company.
-Career goal is to become an executive at an innovative retailer such as Apple, Amazon, Warby Parker etc. Dream job would be CEO of REI or Patagonia. Could see doing some time at a top 3 consulting firm if that gets me to where I want to go.
-Current extracurriculars include volunteer SAT tutoring for recent immigrants and volunteer tax prep as a financial advisor for low-income individuals (significant time commitment to both, but no leadership role)
-Was president of management consulting club in college and served as treasurer of my fraternity
-Planning to apply to HBS, Wharton, Booth, Kellogg, Columbia, Haas, Sloan. Personal situation prevents me from going to school outside of major cities, so no Tuck/Fuqua/Darden for me.
Nice profile! I'd be shocked if you didn't get into at least one of the M7. In fact, I think even you have a realistic shot at getting one of H/S/W. If you sharpen your goals a little bit and apply to all seven of the schools you listed, you'll do just fine.
Your profile is great, just make sure your application is as well.
I don't see how you could not get in to any of them.
