Name/username:  Shameek
 Age :  32
 Country/Location :  Indian living in Poland
 Under-Graduate School :  Univ. of Pune

 Pre-MBA Industry :  Automotive 
 Target industry post-MBA:  Entrepreneurship/Consulting 
 Brief about Work Experience :  Spent 10 years working as an electronics engineer testing Automotive Embedded products. Ran a restaurant for a year and ran my start-up for a year in automotive domain. 
 What is your relation to the Recommenders?(Manager. client etc):  Managers
 Volunteering/Extra-curriculars:  Nothing spectacular
 International Experience :  Yes - 2 years in US, couple of months in Bulgaria and lived in Poland for a year
 Scholarship Given? :   Yes - I feel WBS is very scholarship friendly. But just a feeling not 100% sure. 
 The motivation for MBA and why Now brief? :  After working for 10 years working as an engineer, I entered Entrepreneurship as it was always my passion. Though, I started feeling the lack of skills and networking to succeed running my own business. Thus I felt now is the perfect time to spend the next 1 year to hone on the hard skills understanding synergies between the number of business functions, soft-skills to attain leadership skills, networking, and credibility. 
 Why WBS? :  It has all the resources such as Incubator, proximity to automotive industries etc. to help me achieve my short-term and long-term goals. 
 Which Round did you apply in? :  R2
 Status of your application? (A or WL) :  A
 Short-Term Goal :  Automotive consulting
 Long-Term Goal :  Entrepreneurship

(You can add your interview experience HERE and paste the link above )
 Did you use the help of an MBA Consultant? :  Yes but a very bad one!! Beware of some random people showing them off as a consultant. I had a very bad experience with the one I hired as she deviated from all the promises she made initially and she was from US so couldn't really handle well. Spent 3000$ for it which is huge as an Indian applicant. 
 Any comments, feelings, advice to share?:  This comes from one of the alumnus I talked to. Don't go for the big names just for the sake of it. Try to figure the synergy with the schools. And once you have done so you would be able to crack it anyhow as the school/interviewers can resonate with your enthusiasm and understanding of the school. In addition, the whole application requires a very thorough introspection and be prepared to spend a lot of time in your application process.
