Hi there!
Well, first off...whether you should go for the MBA depends on what your long-term career goals are. You might want to check out some of our resources on post-MBA careers like these career primers:
https://www.mbacareercoaches.com/resources/. Make sure you have a clear goal story that you can write about in your essays, and that you have clear reasons for why you want your MBA now.;
As far as chances...of course it's really hard to predict because it depends on a number of different factors. I think your work experience (albeit short) sounds quite interesting, and your experience working in Pakistan for a Chinese-owned company should lend an interesting perspective in the classroom. Hopefully in your 13 months you've had a chance to demonstrate your leadership and had some impact, because that will be important to show. Your GPA is on the low end, but hopefully you can get a strong GMAT to demonstrate your academic abilities. For the schools you mention, the average is in the 670-680 range so aim there, or just a bit higher because of the GPA.
Good luck, and let us know if we can help!
Thank you so much for your feedback.
mbaMissionKate Let me elaborate some of my background and post-MBA goals. My background is from a business family, my father was a businessman here in Pakistan and i used to help him during my studies even. Although after his death, responsibility was on my shoulders and i couldn't hold it longer than 2.5 years and it fell. It was a big failure but i learned hell lot different things from this. After business failure, i continued my studies and after completing my engineering i am now working in a Chinese company China Mobile. If i talk about my post-MBA goals, first i want to do my MBA in Entrepreneurship or International Business, (well honestly i don't know much that which university has the best Entrepreneurship) because i want to start my own business.
After taking my GMAT, i'll have at least 3 weeks to apply to all the universities i mentioned earlier, So i'll prepare my essays in that time.
Looking forward your response! Thanks.
