GMAT 740 (Q50 V39); IIM Ahmedabad MBA; Profile Evaluation [#permalink] New post 28 Nov 2012, 06:21
This is my first post here..need help!

Took my GMAT today scored 740 Q50 V39. I am a Civil engineering graduate from India and have already done my 2 yr full time MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA, ranked 11th in FT Global MBA Rankings 2012). Now please dont laugh.. i know many Indians think IIMA is the last frontier. But I need to explore further..

I have 4 yrs work experience - 1.5 years in designing structures for Oil & Gas Industry and 2.5 years in corporate finance division of one of India's leading private sector banks. Have above average grades, got scholarship in engineering, ranked 3rd, then ranked in top 50 at IIM Ahmedabad..

I am currenntly focussing on specialised Finance course like Msc Finance etc, at LBS, Warwick, Imperial, HEC etc. Dont want to do another MBA and spend too much.. want to settle in Europe

Any sugesstions are welcome..please help me out

Hi AB,

Kudos on your GMAT score!

What would you like to do after the Masters in Finance degree? And what is your long term career vision?

The one year MIF program at London Business School would probably be the best in terms of reputation, learning, professional contacts, and working in finance.

I've been an alumni interviewer for London Business School for the past 10 years, happy to discuss further if you are interested. http://marveladmissions.com/contact-us/

Best,

Christine Lin

Thanks Christine..

I have filled the form on the link..

My immediate goal is to get a decent job in Corporate Finance or Strategy profile with a balanced lifestyle in Europe. In the long run I might want to start a consulting firm of my own..

Look forward to hear from you..

740!! Wow.... very good. with a good application and good work experience that will help you apply to almost any program. LBS and LSE have what are considered the strongest programs in the UK. Otherwise I would refer you to the rankings here: http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/rankings

Hi,

The strong areas in your profile are good academic background (IIM Ahmedabad), GMAT score and corporate exposure; As per your Profile and GMAT score I would recommend you to target LBS and HEC.
You should start applying soon as you seem to be in perfect stage of your career and around 4 - 7 years of work experience is what most of the above B Schools look for.
However you should also plan and need to cleverly prepare for questions like your objective behind applying for a specific B school, why you want to change your career from engineering background to consulting/finance.
The next step for you to do some research on the above schools and get started with the applications.
Feel free to post any other query or concern that you might have.

Regards,
Neha Singh
