I am looking for help evaluating my candidacy to a top 5 B school, I really just need a sanity check to see if I'm in the ball park or if I should not be wasting my time.
First of all thanks to all for taking the time!
I'm planning on applying to B school for fall 2013. Below are my summary stats. I’m planning to apply to (HBS/Columbia/Wharton/Stanford) and would appreciate if you could tell me my chances of getting in to any schools in my list, as well as get an opinion on other schools where I might be a good fit. Thank you once again; all help is much appreciated!
I am a Puerto Rican male; bilingual (Spanish)
Academic:
Middle Tier Boston Business Undergrad (Think BU/BC/Bentey/Babson) GPA: 3.2 Finance GPA: 3.8 (had very strong upward trend after initial issues)
Co-founder and treasurer of Puerto Rican Student Association in college
Passed all CFA exam levels (I,II, & III) in a row by the age of 23
GMAT will take by end of month: I expect 690-740
Work experience (US Caribbean):
1.5 years as Special Assistant to Government Pension Fund Administrator and Chief Investment Officer While it was undergoing restructuring efforts and merging the administration with other local pension plans. (When I left I was offered the position of Director of the investments division (i.e. Assistant Deputy Administrator) but turned it down in order to be an analyst in a Private Equity Firm a job that was not as prestigious but it was where I saw myself in the future given my long term goals.
1.5 years analyst in Small Cap US Caribbean Private Equity Firm ($125 AUM) (The firm has been investing for over 20 years; very reputable in the region top quartile performance)
Good experience and will have excellent recommendation from the head partner, job function has evolved in to a more senior role. I have a lot of responsibilities and have had opportunities to lead (manage) projects and deals on my own; I will also be supervising some more junior people that are to come in in a couple of months.
Extracurricular activities all on-going:
3 years as Director at my brother’s Company’s Board just two directors me and my brother
We have weekly Sunday meetings; company is expected to break the $10 million in sales this year
Company has had very strong growth over 35% per year (100% bootstrapped no private capital); recently recognized by the Governor who issued a press conference honoring my brother
7 months as Member of the board/committee of a yearly fundraising wine and food festival for scholarships in my old high school, this past year net income from the festival totaled 65K
All help is greatly appreciated!
