Seven years post college work experience:
- Small business owner: last month my gourmet salad restaurant was forced to close because of the Spinach/Ecoli saga.
- Prior to that I was a buy side bond trader with inst. asset mgr.
- CFA Charterholder
Davidson College Grad - scholarship varsity athlete
GMAT 680
What are my chances?





IMO
I would think you have a pretty decent shot if you write some knockout essays...
Just my opinion
Try and bump your GMAT by
Try and bump your GMAT by say 20 points
Guyjer, you give some of the
Guyjer, you give some of the worst advice out of anyone here. A 20 point difference when you are already at a 680 is insignifcant. The original poster should be worried on writing knockout essays and highlighting his/her "wow: factor.
If his/her undergraduate gpa was lower than average, he should build an alternate transcript by taking some quantitative classes such as mico/macro econ, statistics, calculus and accounting to show his ability to handle quant. material.
Thanks everyone for your
Thanks everyone for your comments...
Roller4life- My college GPA is below avg - 3.1 Pol Sci major. However, would the CFA charter sufficiently highlight quant abilities? What are my chances for 3rd round app?
Yes CFA could show some
Yes CFA could show some ability, but your going to really want to show grades as in better performance in economic classes, as well as accounting and statistics classes.

Your 2 cents is giving
Your 2 cents is giving people wrong advice. So shut your pie hole unless you know what your talking about which often isn't the case.

Awwwww taking your fustration on me. I don't mind, we all need to blow off a little steam but remind me your still in school just like me w/o even an internship. Dont be hypocritical it is unbecoming.
yeah but your advice is
yeah but your advice is totally unrelated to IBanking. You have no first hand banking experience, you aren't even looking to get into the industry from your posts. Why the hell do you even waste your time on here? You probably are a social moron with the computer screen as your only friend
awww your making me cry, it
awww your making me cry, it hurts it just hurts soo much lol.
your a big tool. I can't
your a big tool. I can't even imagine how that friend of yours Eshan or whatever the hell his name is wanted to hang out with a moron like you. I did speak to him once briefly and he's a great kid. As far as I know he also got the call from JP Morgan.
Your going to be a glorified FMP intern and your not even getting into the program, but even if you do you aren't getting anywhere.
Have fun being stuck in the corporate world on the road to nowhere, I'm not wasting my time with you. End of discussion

good you finally decided to shutup and know your role. By the way you never answered my pm about where you go to school. Probably some garbage school with zero ibanking presence because the people are morons like you.

I'm relieved that I'm making this board better in terms of accurate advice that is being give,n out and making sure that idiots that have no first hand knowledge or desire to get into the investment banking industry such as yourself, don't pollute this forum with their senseless crap.
It's obvious you got to a nonsense school for the sole reason that you failed to respond regarding schools.
Have fun trying to get into ibanking.....your going to need it.
