Hi...
Please evaluate my profile...
10th 83c/o
12th 86%
Grad 88%
PG in Maths 87%
Presently working as Senior Manager in a PSB
Work Ex 10 yrs
Worked with the forex dep and headed inward remittance team for 3 years. Rest worked in Retail Segment.
Yet to attempt GMAT, targetting 690+ score.
Reason for pursuing Executive MBA: Want to change my field from Banking to Business Analytics / Product Manager.
I am planning of applying in R3 for IIM A B C .

Your profile is suitable for IIMC. 690+ score on GMAT FE will be very difficult and hence would suggest you aim for 645 score on GMAT FE. A strong profile, essays/SOP and comprehensive application will be essential for your success. Reach out if you have any questions.

As you prepare for your B-school application, do not forget to read this article on drafting an impactful SOP/essay.

No, it is just the interview.

If you are looking for Mock interviews with Alumni trained in Admission interviews, do DM.
(Limited slots available)

Remember these key points while preparing for interviews:

1) Read you application and essay many times and be ready to explain each and every word on it
2) Have strong answers for why you need an MBA (Avoid generic gyaan that many others have repeated before you)
3) Do not LIE (you will get caught very easily)
4) Show that you are eager and have already done your research on the program

Profile looks good to go. Non-engg, finance job profile can help you stand out from others. GMAT score is also ok (not great, but manageable). However, since this is your second MBA, you will need be very clear on why you need an MBA. A strong application and impactful essays are your key to securing admissions. DM if you want to discuss more on applications and essays/SOPs.
