Hey Y'all,

Background: 27M, Mexican-American based in Texas

I am planning to apply this year. I studied petroleum engineering at a large Texas school and graduated with a 3.4 GPA. After graduating, I started working as a field engineer for a oil field services company for about 3 years. I was then promoted into more of an in office engineering role at this service company where I work with modeling & data analysis. I have been doing the in office engineering for about 2 years.

Post MBA, I want to work at a large oil company (think Shell, Chevron, etc) in acquisitions and divestitures using my engineering background + business skills.

Extracurriculars:
-I volunteer with coaching a local youth baseball league
-I volunteer with Hispanic students with college prep & admissions
-I volunteer with GED tutoring

Looking forward to hearing on how to improve my profile! I am really looking to maximize possible scholarships.
