Candidate:

Mr. Stuck Consultant

About Me:

I am a high-powered management consultant, but at a small leading firm in a very niche but rigorous field. My role includes interfacing with C-Suites and Boards of corporate and PE clients (210K+ income, several promotions). My GMAT score is an estimate given I have taken just one “cold” practice exam sans prep and scored 740 in the 99.9th percentile SAT (1580/1600).

Post MBA Goal:

My short-term goal may be stewardship for a leading asset manager (e.g. Vanguard); I want to be on the forefront of corporate governance advisory and trends. Accordingly, I am looking at Yale, HBS, Darden as well. Otherwise, goal is high-reaching HR career (e.g., Chief People) but nervous that top programs don’t cater to HR even though MBA helps
