Hi,
Thanks to evaluate my profile and post-MBA goals and recommend schools (applying for fall '06 admissions)
Profile
-------
23 yr old, Indian. Completed Bachelors degree in Singapore. Computer Engineering. Passed with second lower classification (British styled university). GPA (self-calculated 2.8 ~ 3.0)
Currently doing part-time masters in statistics - all A's thus far. Completing by Apr '06.
GMAT - 750 (51q, 40v)
Current work ex. (1.5 yrs, will be 2.5 when I marticulate). Working in singapore in a semi-conductor manufacturing plant as fabs automation engineer.
Have served as publications officer of a club while at university. Currently a part of nature conservation team at my company. Organize bi-weekly community activities geared towards nature preservation.
Post-MBA goals
--------------
Hoping to pursue a career in finance - fixed income product structuring.
I'm interested in applying to MIT-Sloan [especially interested in it's financial technology option]
I feel I have 2 strikes against me - (1) undergrad GPA (2) length of work exp.
Could suggest other schools where I'll be more competitive; schools that will also fit my profile and post-MBA goals ?
Many Thanks.
