Shooting for deferred programs at HBS, Wharton, Stanford, CBS, MIT but feel free to lmk what I should do to make me stronger if I don't get in this time around ![:)]( "Smile")
Background
Work experience:
Engineer 1 samsung (start Jan 2021): Work in process improvement to wafer fab (idk specifics yet)
Engineering Intern (x2) samsung (Summer 2019/Summer 2020): lots of application development to decrease time spent on routine tasks (automated one task from 2 hr/wk to 6 min/yr and automated some tools to perform maintenance automatically, saved 2 hours per maintenance), identified a possible link between tool equipment and defects in product
R&D Engineering Intern @ Medium Sized Semiconductor Supplier: built a database of materials they used, and did statistical analysis between two tools to qualify one for us
Extra curricular:
Volunteer at a VC/Startup incubator in Santa Monica (starting next week lol this is new)
VP of school's chemical engineering club
Published author in a scientific journal/on campus research in chemistry
Head chemical engineering tutor on campus, work for engineering dept
Volunteer at dog shelter (cuz I'm a dog lover not really helpful for MBA stuff I'd imagine)
Undergrad school/major: University of Southern California/ B.S. Chemical Engineering
Other education/coursework: USC M.S. Materials Engineering (4+1)
Race/nationality: Indian/ American
Sex: Male
Stats
GMAT Score (include breakdown!): 750 (42V/50Q) 5 AWA 7 IR (i was dumb and burnt out for these last two, idk if it's a huge deal?)
Undergrad GPA: 3.63 (I think this is a tad low?)
MBA Info
Goal of MBA: Want to work in either operations as a COO at some point in the future for a materials company or at a VC that invests in such companies; would want to do a concentration in Business Analytics or Operations (maybe both)
Target schools: HBS 2+2, MIT Deferred, Stanford GSB Deferred, Columbia Deferred, Wharton Deferred, UVA Darden Deferred (if I don't get in deferred, like the same schools and UT McCombs, NYU Stern in a couple years)![]()
