What Schools Should I aim for? profile review
Hi all! Looking for some insight on whether I have a shot at the top programs. Appreciate any feedback and criticism!
Here's my profile:
Background: Korean-American 28-year old male Undergrad Institution: University of California, Berkeley Major: Psychology Undergraduate GPA: 3.81 GMAT: 750
Work Experience: 5 Years at matriculation in high-tech B2B enterprise software sales at Oracle Corporation. I've experienced two major promotions. First from a "Business Development Consultant" (lead generation role) to "Enterprise Account Executive" (closing role) to "Regional Manager of Business Development." As a BDC and EAE (first two roles), I consistently crushed my sales quota, and was in the top 20% of our sales org. I am currently a regional manner, and oversee a team of 18 business development professionals (mix of sales and marketing), and my team is number two (out of 16) in the organization currently.
I received my first promotion within 1.5 years, then the next one after 1.5 years. I got promoted among the fastest among my peers.
I have additional work responsibilities. When I was a BDC, I was accepted to become a "Sr. BDC," where in addition to my sales responsibilities, I took on a mentoring role to new recruits from college. I am also the President of our office's Toastmasters branch.
Extracurricular Responsibilities: I'm on the board of a education technology non-profit, where we work with low-income schools in the SF Bay Area to revamp school technologies.
I have also had leadership positions in political campaigns (mayor's office, one of CA's Senators, etc.). Extenuating Circumstances: I've had to overcome my disability to succeed academically and at work. I have a chronic medical condition that caused my right eye to be legally blind.
Goals: I want to get a general management position in marketing at a f500 company, preferably on the West Coast. My preference is tech, but not exclusively. My goal is a marketing management job with a six-figure base with hours that usually don't top 55-60 a week (my disability hinders my ability to work longer consistently, which is why I am ruling out management consulting and finance, but I enjoy marketing).
Thanks! Do you have any suggestions for what schools I should apply to? Thanks
