Chances of acceptance straight from undergrad

Graduate School Business School - MBA
1

<p>Hello, I am a senior in university and am just wondering what you guys think my chances are at acceptance strait from undergrad to a top US MBA</p>

<p>Background: Come from minority low income family, first person in family to reach university</p>

<p>GPA 3.7 (Natural Science degree from a Canadian University known for its Science Program)</p>

<p>GMAT 760</p>

<p>WE: worked full time for all of my undergraduate degree at a small (6m revenue/year) screen printing embroidery and promotional marketing company starting off with sales and eventually became a project manager for a ~$600,000 order for Tim Hortons (Biggest publicly traded Canadian coffee shop franchise), a ~$300,000 order for the Terry Fox Cancer Research Foundation and a ~$150,000 order for the Canadian Cancer Society. (I understand that MBA programs want post undergrad full time work, and i am wondering if you think my full time work during my undergrad will be considered equally ?)</p>

<p>EC: Charity head of university ethnic group and started an NPO at the start of the year that has raised ~$150,000 for a variety of charities</p>

<p>The reason that I want to pursue an MBA so quickly is because coming from a science degree alot of employers so far wont even give me a look just because I dont have the traditional business related education, and as a canadian it is difficult to secure a top job with a f1000 or top banking / consulting firm</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your input</p>

<p>Good stats, the minority and the impressive GMAT score certainly will help you.
I’m not sure if Canadian education helps, hurts or doesn’t make a different so no opinion there.
Since you have already taken the GMAT, I would apply to some schools you like (spend quality time with the personal statements), but depending on how quickly you want to finish the MBA, you may want to wait and work full-time for a year or two and then apply (most MBA programs, especially the notable ones expect full-time professional work AFTER undergrad)…you could probably get into some really good programs.</p>
