Applying: Columbia, Cornell / Johnson, NYU Stern, U. Chicago Booth, UPenn / Wharton, Yale SOM
Intake Year: 2024
Pre-MBA Career: Law, Real Estate Private Equity, Nonprofit
Post-MBA Target Industry: Investment Banking Companies: Morgan Stanley
GRE: 330
GPA: 3.59
Years of Work Experience: 8
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
Post MBA Location: Chicago
Notes:

My background is in Paralegal and Fund operations work in capital markets. I started out at a non-profit where I created a community fund and engaged the community to invest in affordable housing projects on the south side of Chicago. Next, I matriculated into an international law firm where I worked on the legal side of Real estate PE and restructuring work. At this point, I realized that business was my interest and not law. So I obtained a job at a RE PE firm where I led a team of executives through the acquisition phase. I also presented in front of investors which led to the team raising significant capital for further deals. I need the MBA because I'm trying to pivot to RE Investment Banking. My long-term goal is to go back to Real Estate Private Equity in a senior position.

Current Transferable Skills:
Attention to Detail, Project Management, Real Estate quantitative and qualitative analysis, Time Management, Presentation and Fundraising.

Extra-curriculars:
Community Board Member at a local community hospital where I led a campaign for people to get healthy checkups in low income communities.

Policy Coordinator of a Job taskforce where I worked with business leaders and faithbased organizations to provide hundreds of jobs to teens from low income communities in the Chicagoland area.

Chair of the Housing Taskforce where I worked with landlords and banks to qualify low-income resident to be homeowners and those who were not qualified, we partnered them with landlords who could help them by reporting rent payments to their credit which will get them qualified at a later date.

Coordinator of Several Nonprofits where I led the charge of bringing together community stakeholders to provide the greater good for the Chicagoland community.

GRE: 326
GPA: 3.67
Years of Work Experience: 6

Notes:

I taught for two years in an under-resourced school and earned a Masters of Education. For the past four years, I have worked for a non-profit and graduate school program that recruits and forms talented teachers.

I desire to go to business school in order to develop the management skills and hard financial background needed to make an impact in launching and funding innovations in education. In the short term, I would hope to work for a consultancy or fund making an impact in the education sector. In the long term, I'd like to launch and lead my own K-12 school in St. Louis.
