I am a Filipino Mechanical Engineer with 1 year of renewable energy experience in the Philippines working on microgrids for off-grid islands and 5 years of experience in the Railway Infrastructure industry in Japan working on overseas projects in the Asian and European markets. I aim to transition to Management Consulting preferably working with developmental organizations ultimately working towards taking up a leadership role in the infrastructure sector of one of these organizations such as ADB or World Bank. I aim to stay in the Asian region after MBA.


I love music and in my free time, I lead a church choir and teach simple guitar for beginners.

Congrats on your profile - I feel you have a fantastic profile with international work experience, super high score.
For Consulting, interview and client-facing skills are paramount so please make sure that you have them or practice as much as you can for BSchool interview as that will be evaluated for your potential Consulting career and chances of success. Otherwise, I think INSEAD and NUS are in the bag for you. You may be able to even get some $$ from a few EU schools or definitely from some of the US T15's, just saying...

Hi Ivan Geronimo, I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your GMAT score is amazing, definitely compensates for your GPA. While 6 + years of experience with global exposure, again a plus. Adcoms at INSEAD do give importance to global exposure.

You have strong chances of acceptance at both INSEAD and HEC. Just ensure that you build a compelling narrative around your application.
