Didnt look through the whole thing, but first thing I noticed was listed SAT scores, your math score is pretty weak, I would reconsider listing it since 670 is probably on low side comparatively to your competition, also arguably most important score if you're going for IB.
Ha, that wasn't my highest point. I've had it brought up in a few interviews before, but it was usually offset by the 800 in Writing and the fact that I had "A"s and a couple of "B"s in my math/econ classes. Is it really that much of a deal breaker?
Wouldn't say its a deal breaker, just saying it's not worth a line that could be used to highlight a stronger quality.
Although, if its been brought up a few times, that's probably a cause for concern.
Hope it helps~
Hmm, I guess you're right. It's mostly been in the context of, "Well, it looks like you have a good SAT score. Wow, an 800!" The one time it was questionable was when the hiring manager was reading through it out loud and asked his assistant if a 670 was "good." She said that it's "not bad; pretty good," and then he said something along the lines of, "well, you've got solid grades otherwise, and an 800, so it's OK."
I'll probably take it off, thanks.
Is there anything out that stands out at you? I've been thinking of replacing the BB #2 experience with my Investment Club stuff.
Anyone else?
I noticed that you listed VBA and being a senior analyst on your resume. I hope you are prepared to code something simple and give a pitch or two during interviews. :)
I actually hadn't considered that; thanks for the heads up! Would I be given prep time, like during a case interview, or are pitches typically done on the fly?
Any other advice?
I don't have any advice really, but which state are you currently located in? TX?
No, not in Texas. I live on the East Coast and go to school in the region. I doubt there are too many people in the area interested in TX, right? :)
Maybe not from the East Coast, but there's plenty of people coming down everyday (from Midwest especially). More competition than there was 4-5 years ago. Have a good story for TX.
Solid. No period after bullets though.
Thanks! I'll keep it in mind.
I noticed that! I know a few kids from UIllinois/UMich/ND/etc and they have a fair number of oil firms recruiting on campus.
Quick question: I've never been a fan of case competitions, but if I'm interested in consulting, how helpful are they? Does preparing for a competition look similar to prepping for an MBB interview, or are the competitions mostly a waste of time and don't resemble an interview in the slightest?
