Hi Souvik,

Hope you are doing well.

This is with reference to your post in several Business School forums seeking an evaluation of your profile. Below is my take :

Work Experience : Power Sector
This is a highly recognised industry as far as admission committee's perception is concerned. However, you will need to clearly state in your applications, your contribution and learnings as part of your tenure in both the firms. More than the WHAT, adcoms are usually interested in the HOW. You will need to also highlight how you overcame all hurdles while working in remote areas and created an impact.

No. of Years of Experience : ~4
This is a sweet spot as far as both Indian B schools (ISB) as well as Global B schools are concerned

GMAT : 680
In case you are targeting ISB, this score plus a stellar application will give you a shot at the interview. However, if you are targeting US B schools, this score is on the lower side.

Leadership Experience : Teaching
You will need to articulate this into why you are teaching children and what drives you to do the same.

In a nutshell, you have a very decent profile for ISB, Great Lakes, NTU, HEC, IE, SAID, Texas A&M, Kelly, Georgetown, Olin, Ohio Fisher, AGSM etc.

I am a ISB alum, CO14
Thanks
AB

Hi guys,

I got accepted for the part-time 2017 class. Since there isn't a separate thread for part-time, I'd like to connect with the admitted folks on discussions regarding loans, accommodation, extracurriculars etc. Do you have any FB/Whatsapp group?

hope to catch up with the full-time batch at Mannheim sometime in September :)
