Post MBA goals: Specific international aspirations for family business- specifically interesting in growing operations, marketing, business development, Ecommerce for consumer products (living, home, furniture segment)
+ entrepreneurial aspirations from there based on collective experiences.
The schools applied to include some of the top 15 US schools in Round 2. (does not include HSB, Stanford and Wharton)
The only worrying link in a pretty crisp/clear profile is my marginally low GMAT, although I have high grades in quant subjects in college , masters and a good quant score on the gmat. Expecting great recommendations.
Would you please give me your two cents on the profile? (resume attached)
Thank you!
