Notes:

Hi Graham and Alex hope you're doing well during these times. I love listening to your podcast and would love to be featured. As of now I haven't taken the GMAT, however, I am studying for it. My plans are to score above to 700 (710-720). Currently, I am working as an Operations Analyst at one of the worlds leading asset management firms. Over my time at the firm I've been involved in many cost reduction projects as well as the implementation and building of automated solutions. I should further this by staying I am part of a campus analyst program which was quite competitive to become a part of as my school is not target by firms of this caliber. I am on the path to a promotion by years end, and will soon be heading up my own team. I plan on applying for my MBA Fall of 2021 and will have three years of work experience by matriculation. I am very involved in my community when I'm not at work. A few things I am a part of are, VITA tax program, March of dimes, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. I also am an avid body builder and compete in competitions when I can. Going into my college experience, I attended a SUNY institution. I was heavily involved in extra curriculars holding many E Board positions in various clubs and was part of a group of students who started a nationally recognized fraternity on our campus. My grades were on an upwards trajectory to where my last two years my GPA was a 3.6 or better. With all this said is there anything else I can do to bolster my profile and are there any other schools I should be looking at? Thank You!
