Hi Alex
Could you please take a look at my profile and help me with a couple of questions
25/M/Indian
Education
Undergraduate from IIT (engineering school in India) with UG GPA of 9.8/10 in computer science
Most of my electives were from maths & physics
Work Ex
3 yrs at the time of writing
work for one of the big US banks in London in a trading role
Extra Currics
unfortunately not something I have heaps to write about. My profile is quite "geeky" in that sense
GMAT
Scheduled to give it within the week, test scores suggest so far that I should be able to get a 750+
Goals
To have a choice of alternative career paths such as consulting perhaps. Atleast an opportunity to explore such options. I do like the finance industry, and would be interested in trying to switch to a different kind of role even within that, something that the MBA can help me do I think.
I am not sure if my profile is strong enough (in not being too unidimensional) to get through to any of the top schools. Given my work experience in London, I would prefer to go and study in the USA rather than in Europe just to have a change of setting. I am at present also unsure about which schools would suit me best to apply and whether I should be trying to apply somewhere this year at all or wait for another year ?
