<p>My stats</p>
<p>-GPA 3.97, Double Major in Finance / Banking and Financial Insititutions Minor in German from Sam Houston State University (small regional school, although have extremely well renowned professors in both of my majors)
-No fulltime work experience, 3 years of Part-time management in retail.
-First Generation Student, had to work to pay my tuition, 25-30 hrs/week.
-Beta Gamma Sigma (inducted as a Junior), Golden Key, Alpha Lambda Delta honor groups
-Currently a Senior graduating on-time in May of 14
-Realistically expecting a 630 or 640 on my gmat, but could be anywhere from 610-660,
-Expecting a 5 or 6 on the essay and an 8 on the IR part of gmat. (have only scored below an 8 once in practice tests,7.)</p>
<p>I'll be applying to:</p>
<p>1.EDHEC MiM & MScFE program
-Is this even worth applying to if I don't make at least a 650?
2.London Business School MiM program
-Average GMAT is actually not too high 650, require less than 1 year of FT exp.
3.University of Rochester MBA (early leaders)
-My #1 choice
4.American University MsF program
-I've heard great things about their graduating class job placement
5.Santa Clara University MsF program
-My fall back, seeing as the avg gmat is low 600's but I don't know how selective this new program is.
6.Harvard 2+2 MBA program
-I'm guessing they only look at undergrad school, GPA and GMAT, since applicants won't have much experience?</p>
