MBA Admissions for Top-10 Schools
Hey Guys,
I want to know what my chances are for getting into a top-10 school- specifically:
- Harvard
- Columbia
- NYU
- Wharton
- MIT
UNDERGRAD: Non-target city university (top 50 in the nation) 3.0 overall GPA with a 3.4 major GPA in Finance
EXPERIENCE: 2 years boutique IB as an Analyst with heavy transaction experience and 3 years start-up experience
GMAT: Currently have a 700 but taking exam again hoping for a 740.
Any of the schools I mentioned "in the bag" with my qualifications?
All thoughts are much appreciated. Thank in advance!
As per the the Poets and Quants profiles, your GPA will be tough to overcome. Also, boutique IB = Lazard/Evercore/etc, or no-name?
To be honest, nope none in the bag but just basing it on the information you provided. Your GPA isn't high. A target GMAT is of no use only real GMAT scores. Many analysts/former analysts apply.
Thanks for the input, keep them coming!
Do you guys think I'll at the very least receive interviews for some of the schools above?
Depends on lots of other things (like WHAT you have done at work, Volunteer experience, etc.), but just based on your GPA and where you graduated from, all will be longshots, except NYU.
Killer GPA.
Would someone in this position be better off moving to corporate finance or something more random before applying to business school? If it's a no-name boutique, it seems like they would be at the absolute bottom of the IB group and potentially sol when it comes to mba admissions.
