Hey guys,
seems like the OB peers have made themselves comfortable in here already. Let's stay in touch over the next few months...
I'll contribute my profile as well. Mostly applying to top 20 schools in the US and Europe (probably rather a high risk approach).
PROFILE:
Type of Undergrad: Business major, decent Central European b-school
Undergrad GPA: converted probably around 3.6, exchange at decent public school in the US (GPA 3.9/4.0)
Type of Grad: Business major, MSc at top UK institution
Grad GPA: converted probably around 3.8-4.0, exchange at top 10 US MBA school (GPA 3.9/4.0)
GRE: 800Q, 560V, AWA4 (2nd try)
Math Courses: Statistics for business, basic calc
Econ Courses: Intermediate Micro and Macro, 2 Game Theory classes
Letters of Recommendation: full prof (UK), full prof (Europe), associate prof (US)
Research Experience: Undergrad thesis, Master's thesis, a few term papers (all with highest grade)
Teaching Experience: none
Research Interests: negotiations, emotions, group decision making
SOP: in progress
Other: 1 year of strategy consulting experience
Concerns: grade conversion deflates my UGPA, no real research experience, probably don't have time to socialize with lots of POIs
Good luck to everyone!
