Profile Evaluation Request- INSEAD [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 22 Mar 2016, 02:46
Hi Jon,

Thanks for your time and effort

Indian Male
GMAT: 710
Age: 29 (Will be 30 at matriculation)
Undergrad: UNC KF
Major: Finance; GPA: 3.3

Work Experience: 3.5 years at a Venture Capital in Singapore. Working as an analyst for the first year and then promoted to associate. As an analyst, I led the interns and as an associate I managed the 2 analysts and 2 interns. Being a member of a small team, I did almost everything from deal screening, due diligence, to strategic consulting for portfolio firms and help in business development efforts. For a couple of firms, I actually got trained in their tech and helped in business development fully hands on. Completed 4 deals and had 2 exits out of the 4 companies.

2 yrs doing strategic, growth and planning at one of largest eCommerce platforms in Asia. Directly reporting the VP, Growth & Product Strategy. I put in initiatives that expanded the business two new geographic regions. Increased margins by 10% for "Home" category and initiated new rewards incentives for Managers.

I am looking to get an MBA but I am only looking into INSEAD (SG). Could you please let me know if my profile would be competitive? I am looking to transition back to Venture Capital but more at a blue-chip firm rather than a boutique where I worked previously or MBB consulting and then transition into a blue-chip VC.. Thanks.

Best,
PP

Hey dude,
Well I think you should have a shot for sure. Your GMAT is up there, your UG is good. You have international experience. So it all works out more or less. Your goals are classical and make total sense.

Anyhow, when you are applying to solely one school, things are real easy. You just apply to that school. :) And whatever happens happens. But, yes you should have a reasonable shot with a good application.

Thanks for your feedback. I am keeping my fingers crossed for now. Just wanted to know another thing if recommendation letters from former INSEAD MBAs help? Both of my rec letter writers were/are my direct supervisors and INSEAD MBAs. Thanks.
