Applying: Arizona State / W.P. Carey, Cornell / Johnson, Emory / Goizueta, Georgetown / McDonough, Rochester / Simon

Intake Year: 2025

Pre-MBA Career: HRIS Implementation manager/Financial Consultant

GRE: 310

GPA: 2.7

Years of Work Experience: 6

Post MBA Location: Austin

Notes:

I have a wide breadth of experience showing my progression from an HR Generalist > HR Manager > Change manager. I later pivoted to Financial consulting and analytics. With this experience I hope to be a Workday Financial Consultant or a management consultant in a B Tier firm.

My ungrad gpa is low at 2.7 (Family emergencies) and my GRE at 310 (will redo and aim for 320) but I have a non-profit org and a project management cert so I am hoping to show that my ungrad grades are irrespective of my career success and graduate school success.

Showing impact and growth at work will be very important. Activities outside of work can also be very important, so if you’re running a successful non-profit org, that can really help! Any additional hobbies and interests?

methuraan Likes Earned: 3 I've been able to get around 323 on practice tests but I managed my time poorly for the real one so working on that right now. I also redid Finance, Accounting and Econ courses and successfully got A+ in all of them to show I can handle the MBA workload. As for hobbies, I haven't given it much thought but I participate in marathons and charity bike rides and volleyball leagues. Do you think this will add value as a candidate ? (1)
