A Data Analyst with 3 years of experience working across three diverse companies within a Tech Conglomerate and worked with CXO’s on a couple of projects. My roles have spanned the Gaming, Influencer Marketing, and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) wellness brands sectors. Throughout my career, I have contributed to several high-impact projects that have showcased my analytical prowess. Notably, I assessed the repercussions of a game getting banned in our top revenue-generating state, identified loopholes in our existing business data model, and successfully spearheaded the rebuilding process.
Within the company, I have consistently taken the initiative and led various endeavors that have had a significant impact. Furthermore, I have a deep passion for giving back to the community. During my free time, I find joy in teaching children and currently collaborate with the NGO, Robinhood Academy. Additionally, I am actively involved in launching a new NGO alongside my father in the coming months. This organization aims to address important societal issues.
Moreover, I have channeled my compassion towards stray dogs, especially during the challenging times of the pandemic. I have personally taken the initiative to feed, spay, and neuter stray dogs, all while educating people on proper behavior towards our furry friends. Although a long-term plan, I also aspire to establish an animal shelter in the future.
To further enhance my skill set and broaden my horizons, I am pursuing an MBA. I have set my sights on transitioning into the field of consulting within the United States. While I am open to various locations, I hold a preference for Texas or Chicago. Ultimately, my long-term goal is to settle in an industry that aligns with my passion and expertise, which I aim to discover during my tenure in the consulting realm
You have got a solid GMAT score and a robust work experience. Having worked across a spectrum of gaming and marketing profiles you will bring some unique perspectives which I am quite positive the admissions committee would value. Additionally, working with CXO would have helped you imbibe an overview of business while helping you deliver value for your organization. Lastly, your ECs are phenomenal which showcase not only empathy but also a desire to make an impact in your community. Overall you should be positioned quite favorably in the coming admission cycle and hence its imperative that you put in effort into the application to make the requisite impact.
In terms of your college shortlist, would encourage you to explore Kellogg in Round 1 with Early Actions to Darden and Fuqua. Ross is also a solid bet. Both Kellogg and Ross will open consulting doors in the Chicago area while Darden and Fuqua will be more geared towards the NYC area, although there is no hard and fast rule as consulting firms are pretty open with the location preferences of their recruits. For Texas there is not better option than Texas McCombs since they are pipeline for all the consulting firms in the Austin, Houston and Dallas areas.
My only advice would be to take a slightly more long term of your career aspirations to form a strong story that tied together. That will also help you shortlist schools that would probably make more sense from a long term perspective.
