Name/Username: Vardan Sharma
Age: 26
Country/Location : India
Under-Graduate School: SRM University, Chennai, India
Under-Graduate GPA: 9.298 / 10
GMAT/GRE Test scores: 680 (Q49 V33)
Which Round did you apply in?: Round 1
Total Work Experience: 4 Years in Manufacturing, 6 months in an NGO
Pre-MBA Industry: Automobile Ancillary
Target industry post-MBA: Original Equipment Manufacturers
Brief about Work Experience: I have worked as a Vendor Manager in my previous firm and led a few strategic projects during my tenure because of which I developed my interest in project management. Then I joined an NGO as a project manager and finished an assignment for them. My career has been very rewarding as I have won 9 awards in my professional career and have won 3 scholarships and 1 award in academics. I have graduated from "Leadership Development Program" and I am a "Professional Qualitist - Certified Quality Engineer".
What is your relation to the Recommenders? (Manager. client etc): Previous Supervisor / Previous HR Manager
Volunteering/Extra-curriculars: I worked as a core team member & ride organizer for Bajaj Avenger Club - Chandigarh Zone. I have served as a plant management committee member for my previous organization. I have acted as an event organizer and even hosted annual functions and LSIPs. I have been a member of the SAE Club and organized a couple of events. Lastly, I worked in a sponsorship domain for a tech-fest in my undergraduate college.
International Experience: None
Scholarship Given? : Yes (>50%)
Round Applied: Round 1
Why Simon?: STEM Advantage for all specializations, tightly knitted community, geographical location, global ranking, and career opportunities.
The motivation for MBA and why Now brief?: My decision for MBA started as early as in my college days when I started participating and organizing events. But my seniors made me realize the value of work experience before gaining a business degree. So I have understood the business practices and I'm ready for the learning curve. Moreover, the current market condition is not well, so I'm investing my time in learning so that by the time I get back to work, I can benefit myself and my organization as well.
Short-Term Goal: Project Specialist
Long-Term Goal: Consulting
Link to your interview debrief: Exactly all the questions that have already been mentioned in Interview Debriefs, only one that was different from others was, "Simon offers a lot of opportunities apart from core academics, given that you do multitasking, what strategies will you follow to manage time effectively?"
Did you use the help of an MBA Consultant?: No
Any comments, feelings, advice to share?: Studying abroad was never in my mind, after the GMAT exam, I received a mail from Simon regarding waiving off application fee and I thought, "let's give it a shot, there's no harm doing that". I didn't prepare for my interview, nor there were any such questions that I needed to rehearse before. The college selects you on overall aspects, so make sure you mention the breadths of your work rather than just depths.
