Notes:

demographics: Born & raised in Germany, white male, 28

Undergrad in Germany: the GPA of 3.65 is a guess. My school doesn't use the GPA system and the MBA app portals say not to report a GPA if your school doesn't use it. So I'll likely put NA for GPA.

Masters in the U.S. @ Duke, GPA 3.5

Growth & Impact:
at work: Joined the investment management (buy-side) arm of a large US investment bank and have been promoted twice in 3.5 years. Launched new products and took on new responsibilities every year.
outside work: volunteer at a foundation that improves financial literacy for middle and high schoolers. Play Volleyball and tennis, and picked up dancing as a new activity this year.

Post-MBA goal:
return to Investment Management in NY but in more of a investment analyst type role. Long-term would like to lead a team or department and take on higher management level tasks at whatever firm I'll end up at.
