Hi Sathya,

You have good acads, CGPA, ECs and GMAT scores. This shows your potential academically. But how about leadership skills, post-MBA goals, achievements at work place and ability to work with others? These are also key elements while writing application essays and preparing for interviews. If you are able to articulate them skillfully then you will stand a chance in b-school(s).

With the given information, you may apply in Kellogg, Ross, Duke, Cornell, McCombs, Tepper, Oxford, Cambridge, ISB, NUS and Nanyang. You may try your chances in b-schools by clicking https://www.apphelp.co.in/b-school-selector.php

Let me know in case of further queries. You may PM your details for school selection and profile evluation.

Regards
Erina

Hi

This is Sathya. This is my first post in this forum. I need your help in evaluating my profile.

I am from India. I took GMAT last month and scored a 730
Score - 730 (Q - 49 V - 41)
AWA - 4
IR - 5

I know that the AWA and the IR score are slightly on the lower side. But still I just want to go ahead and apply for colleges with this score. I am looking for Fall 2014 entry and am planning on applying in the early action so that I might have better chances of landing a scholarship.

Profile:

10th grade - 91%
12th grade - 96%
UG CGPA - 8.5 (in scale of 4 - 3.5)

WE:
Sony India (1+ years)
Will complete 3 years by the time I get into a b-school.

Extracurriculars:

1) Have been playing football and represented college.
2) Have been an active member of Youth Red Cross during my college days.
3) Have organized many events in college and in office.

Am currently working for Sony as a software engineer( I know am competing with a larger pool of candidates!!)

Please let me know where do i exactly stand among the competing group. Let me know what are my chances of getting into a top b - school. Also , please provide me the list of colleges that I could apply for.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Thanks for the quick response.

Also I have another query. Since am looking to apply for colleges in Round 1, it would be really helpful if you can let me know when does the deadline for the b-schools fall for Round 1.

Also, I do have financial constraints too. So, it would be better if i could get a scholarship. Having that in mind, which b-schools can be considered as safety options for my profile.


Hi Sathya

For the deadlines, you can check this post https://www.interviewbay.com/blog/applic ... 015-intake

B-Schools offer financial aids in various forms - scholarships, loans, etc. and these will vary from school to school. There are many other scholarships available for MBA students. You can check them out here https://www.interviewbay.com/blog/25-sch ... l-students
