Hi,
Hi
samarthtaneja,
Happy to share some thoughts on your profile from an admissions perspective. My comments in blue:
I recently took GMAT (700; Q50, V34, IR 5, waiting on my AWA).
Good score overall, not terribly break through in your pool however. But could be attractive in 12-25 school zone if all else strong.My profile is as follows:
Nationality: Indian
Gender: Male, 26Y
Undergrad: Bachelors in Commerce (Mumbai University) - 82%
Post Grad - Qualified Chartered Accountant
Work Ex:
3.5 years of articleship/internship with the Assurance division of PwC of which 1 year is after graduation (required per the CA curriculum)
3.5 years with PwC Advisory (Transaction Services) after qualification as a CA.
Solid work experienceOther activities: Started an NGO with family.
Would need to know about impact before saying if it was breakthroughConsidering I have a par score, which B-schools should I be targeting for a Mba in finance ? Might look at programs like Wisconsin, Boston College and Cornell- all with excellent investing programs. UNC Kenan-Flagler has a capital markets trading room where classes are taught using same software you'd use in your work environment. Schools that also place quite a few students in finance- UT Austin, Stern, Emory, Indiana, Vanderbilt- So I'd look to some of these to get a sense of where you might see yourself as a best fit. We'd be glad to talk more in a free consult or via PM.
Please let me know your suggestions.
Thanks
