Applying round 2 December 2011

Hey All,

Awards: won multiple major film festival awards for students for two films

Interesting things: travel to close to 30 countries, speak spanish and also studied 2 years college chinese

Prob applying Round 2

@ metrovestments: thats a hell of a MF profile, and exactly the whole 2+2 non-finance image. GPA is on the low end for sure, so try and bring it up to 3.4ish by graduation IMO. Engineering major? GMAT score?

@ westcoaster: Great academically, great WE (ditch Apple store thing though). I'm sure you can do better on GMAT if you get the hang of it if you have 3.9 range GPA in social sciences. You should be aiming for a 50 raw on the verbal section. You have the same problem I do of looking a little finance-y with the junior S&T SA thing but you have alot of humanitarian/social entrepreneurship angles to spin.

....

Looking forward to other people's posts.

Economics major. I took the GMAT cold and scored just over 600. Time to study before I report scores.

You have great stats. Most who apply have the stats to get in, including yourself. It is all about selling yourself... I'm sure there will be at least one psych major staking claim to a coveted spot this year... Sell your story better than anyone else. If I was in your shoes, I'd leverage the hell out of the marathons and Boeing internship in my essays--the two things that set you apart from most.
