Hi

Appreciate your help !
Nationality :Indian
Gender : Female
GMAT : 730 (V41,Q49)
Undergraduate details : I have completed Btech. in Computer Science and Engineering in 2019 from a top 20 institute in India
GPA of 9.27/10 I was ranked 3rd in a class of 100
Extra curriculars at college:
1) Led the dramatics club at my college , performed award winning street-plays during this time
2) Organized a nation-wide event as a part of my college fest
3) I was involved in sports in college
4) I was also a part of the social justice club at college which basically focused on reducing inequalities among our community

Work Experience : 27 months at Fidelity Investments . I had one promotion till now. I work with United States counterparts. I was the only one responsible for an entire segment of my project from India. I am also involved in many cost cutting projects at this company.

Extracurriculars apart from work :
1) Apart from Work , I have started a small business from scratch for one of the poor family in India.
2) I also volunteered at an organization where we coached underprivileged youth for job interviews
3) I was also selected as one of the top 100 Youth Delegates at a global youth organization. As a Youth Delegate , I also helped organize and was a speaker at the 3 day Youth SDG summit during the United Nations Global goals week.
4) I am currently a Youth Delegate mentor at this organization mentoring 2-3 delegates of the current cohort of delegates.
5) I am also in the process of starting my own non-profit youth organization .We currently have 5 members on board.

My post MBA goals :
Short term goal : To gain enough knowledge and work as a product / project manager at A Tech Company
Long term goal : Start my own sustainable business focusing on social impact / Consulting startups focusing on social impact

I am looking at schools which accept a slightly lower work experience.
Schools which I was looking at :
1) Michigan Ross
2) UCLA
3) UC Berkeley
4) HEC Paris
5) Chicago Booth
6) Columbia Business School (I think this is too much of a stretch)
7) NUS
8) Northwestern kellog (I think this is too much of a stretch too)

I copy pasted and was editing, sent by mistake

Hi Scott and PMC, I would appreciate your critical evaluation of my profile.

Background, nationality, and educational background:
- 28, Female, Indian national, currently working in Europe
- BSc. in Environmental Sciences, 3.78/4.0 CGPA from a recognized Liberal Arts University in South Asia (received a full-ride scholarship for 4 years of the UG program)
- MS in Environmental Sciences and Policy, 3.36/4.0 CGPA from a recognized University in Europe (received a full-ride scholarship for 1 year of master’s program)

GRE: 309 (155V, 154Q) and hopeful to surpass 320 during retake

Work experience and leadership:
- Industry: Energy and Sustainability Consulting
- Current position: Risk Manager at F500 company
- Work ex and progression: 4.2 years (Analyst: 24 months -> Senior Analyst: 5 months -> Consultant: 17 months -> Risk Manager: 7 months). I was promoted 3 times during my work ex at current company.
- In my current role, I am managing commodity risk for multinational clients (around 60). I also manage Interns and Analysts.
- Multiple summer internships during UG

Community and others:
I am passionate about mentoring and have volunteered with multiple organizations over the last 10 years.
- Lead Employee Resource group at my company (around 3.5 years)
- Manage recruitment (internship and full-time) from my alma mater (1 year)
- Research Lead at an Environmental organization (4 years)
- Mentor at two NGOs that work for women and other minorities education in Asia. Mentored 4 students for their UG & MS applications (around 2 years)
- Co-founded a non-profit organization that provides admissions consulting for UG & MS to minorities in India (around 4 year)

Post MBA goals:
I want to pursue an MBA to improve my leadership skills and learn how businesses operate. Also, to learn and polish key business and finance-related skills.

Short-term: I want to do corporate strategy/operations consulting at MBB.
Long-term: Given my extensive energy and sustainability background, I am interested in continuing in strategy consulting or moving to the industry to do sustainability strategy at a Fortune 100 company.

Target schools: HBS, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Booth

Questions?
• What if I do not get 320+ in GRE? Do I still have a shot? Should I still apply in R1 with less than 320 in GRE or wait to get it up maybe apply in R2?
• People’s management: I manage interns and Analysts but on a dotted line. Would this count?

I would really appreciate your review, thanks a lot!
