To give you all a little background, the point of this blog is to chronicle my experiences during the process of applying to business school, life in business school (provided I am accepted somewhere), and life after school. Some information on me; I am 26 years old and I work for a large US bank in southern California. For my undergraduate degree, I attended the University of Southern California with a major in International Relations Global Business. It is my goal to begin business school in the fall of 2010. Schools I am interested in attending include: Stanford & Columbia (my top 2), U of Chicago, MIT, Harvard, NYU, Duke, USC, UCLA.
The reason why I want to go to business school is to alter the current career path I am on. Currently, I am in the financial services industry, on the sales side. While I am grateful for the experiences that I have had here, I really want to get into VC / PE in the short term (I know, I know, it's very difficult, but whats the point of aiming low) and then transition into government in the long term.
At this point, I have taken the GMAT, and did fairly well (I scored a 700 for those who know the scoring scale). I participate in several volunteer organizations, 3 of which I take a leading role in and I have been promoted 1 time at work in 2 yrs 6 months. As far as my applications go, I am currently laying the ground work for my essays, and hope to apply to all schools in Round 1. We will see how it goes, I will keep you all posted.
Until Next time.......
