Wow! Awesome achievements on your resume and a good fit to continue in your career track! I guess it is more finance than accounting but maybe our drop downs don't have good enough options for the type of finance... sorry, will improve!

You can consider Sloan as well as well or Johnson on the safer side if you are looking for those options. They are a poor mans' Columbia ... and by a poor man I mean a reach guy with a scholarship 😂

I had the exact thought about accounting background staying in accounting - so I hope it is to do with the options presented in the drop down menu and not your real career goals. Because that made me wonder, why do you want to do an MBA at all.
Your profile is great otherwise. the achievements and promotion are noteworthy and being active in the substantial fund raising add a solid dimension to your profile. Any extra curricular activities?
Don't know what your goals are but I'd swap Fuqua with Tuck, Cornell or Stern given goals around finance.

Thanks bb & Namita!

Sorry for not being specific with my goals. I'm currently in middle management in a FMCG Growth space startup. My skillset in terms of making strategic decisions + contributing to the long term vision of the organization needs improvement.

I aim to be the CFO of leading B2C startup in South East Asia in the next 10 years, and I intend to stay in the corporate finance space. I believe an MBA from a top notch school will provide me the impetus to make this change. Thanks again!
