Hi,
I would really appreciate if you could evaluate my profile and provide feedback. I am an Indian male, 23 years old and working in EPC sector. I am targeting top20 B-schools of USA and looking to get some scholarship as well.
I graduated from Delhi Technological University (Formerly Delhi College of Engineering), which is one of the best in India, in 2015 with 7.5/10 CGPA (8.6 was the highest) but if I convert my grades to GPA, my grade would be around 2.5. This scores seems to be low but I am getting a degree with distinction with this score.
Currently I am working in BECHTEL Corporation, biggest privately owned firm of USA, in India as a mechanical engineer. My work here includes coordinating with other departments of the project, floating purchase requisition to bidders, technical evaluation of bids received, vendor document review. It's a core engineering profile. As of now I just have 1 year of experience and I am thinking of applying after completing 2 years here. I haven't got any promotion yet because in my profile we get promoted after completing 3 years.
Apart from this I also have 3 years of part time experience of working in a non profit organisation (Make A Difference). This organisation is present in 23 cities in India and works for children in orphanages and shelter homes. In my first 2 years I was a teacher, I used to teach kids on weekends. In my 3rd year I was working as a mentor and was mentoring a team of teachers(24 teachers).
During my college days I was involved in many projects and events where I worked as an organiser. Also, I was a part of a project team which designs and fabricates all-terrain vehicles and I designed steering and suspension for that vehicle.
I haven't taken GMAT yet but I am targeting 710-730. That's what I get in my mock tests.
I want to become an Investment Banker some day as I am really interested in working in finance. I have recently started reading about equity markets and I have also started investing in share markets.
I would appreciate if you could have a look and suggest any further action, if you feel, I should take to enhance my profile.
Hey dude!
Great to hear from you!
Now, I would love to help you out and give you a real evaluation, but without more detail about your work and a concrete GMAT that will be hard.
I can say that your volunteer work is quite great! And it will present a real strength.
On the other hand however, your low GPA will put Top 10 schools out of range, and I would suggest initially looking at the 10-30 range of B-schools which would be more realistic.
You still do have to pull that awesome GMAT!! And the higher the better!
So best of luck!
Jon
