Hello,
please evaluate my profile. I am looking for schools such as: ISB, IIM A/B/C, SPJIMR and XLRI within India, and depending on gmat score, abroad (US). Please leave your comments below.
Background: Currently working in Defence sector as a commissioned officer with 9 years of Service experience.
Academics:
(a) 10th: 84% (2000-01)
(b) 12th: 87% (2002-03)
(c) BSc Naval Science: 74% (from NDA, 2004-06)
(d) MA (English): 56% (from IGNOU, 2009-11)
(e) MSc (Applied Psychology): 66% (from Annamalai University, 2013-15)
Test Scores: GRE: V:159(79 per centile), Q: 158 (75 per centile). Still preparing for Gmat, expected date to take gmat: end-Aug 16.
My primary role is that of an Instructor in Ethics and Organisational Behaviour since the last 3 years. I have published two papers, carried out research and designed the syllabus for officers of various seniorities within the organisation. My core areas of study and research include negotiation, ethics, leadership, organisational behaviour and conflict and stress management. Apart from this, taking lectures and teaching forms part of primary responsibilities. Before this I was majorly involved in all Naval operations including combat, logistics and navigation.
Extra Curricular.
(a) Cross Country Runner
(b) Poetry: My first collection of poetry will be published later this year. I have also won the All India Poetry Prize and gotten published in many reputed journals.
(c) Creative Writing: I also have a very active blog where I speak about novels, films etc.
Volunteer:
(a) I have organised Speech Therapy workshops for orthopedicall challenged children and this is a regular feature.
(b) I also have a poetry workshop for young adults.
(c) Public Speaking workshop: Organise and conduct for school going children.
Even though one should aim for the stars, please tell me how much should I aim for as a decent GMAT score for the Indian Schools.
Also, is it possible, realistically speaking, that with my background, I can get into a top American school. What should be my target gmat score then (yes, I know, you will say, 'maximum', but still, keeping my profile in mind, what would be considered a good gmat score?)
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you

Hi Ankush
You have a really solid profile. The education plank itself is very strong (with good academic performance and multiple master's), and in addition you have excellent leadership experience, instructional experience, and extra-curriculars.
While your GRE score is below what would be considered sufficient for ISB and the IIMs, given the rest of your profile, this could work well. You also mention that you are taking the GMAT, and for you, a score of 650 or more would be sufficient. With your background, you could get into a top American school, but that would be a pretty different ball game with its own set of challenges. Will need to discuss in detail on those aspects.
Please do also go through the following article to get a deeper perspective on the MBA for armed forces veterans: MBA for Indian Army officers

A few thoughts and questions for you to ponder on Ankush:
Cheers,
- While you have explained the last 3 years of your work, it will be good to understand the other 6 as well. This will help get a better and fuller sense of the overall profile and skills you may have developed.
- From what you have written, the work seems to be pretty niche and interesting. But it can be tough to relate training/teaching profiles to the common post-MBA goals. This is where it will be critical to know what you plan to achieve through an MBA. With your years of experience, this part of the story is even more important.
- Your ECs look splendid and very impressive - that can prop up the profile really nicely so use them well.
- For US schools, before GMAT, you should ponder more on the age/experience fitment - you are likely to be a bit of an outlier on those parameters. European/Asian schools will be better. In US, you should explore the likes of Sloan Fellows/Stan MSx ideally. For GMAT, ideally a near 700 score would be good to put you away from harm's way.
Cheers,
