Hi ,

Work Experience:(Total 4 Years)

Worked as a techno commercial guy. Prominent responsibilities included interaction with decision makers at prominent industries in the area for business development. Responsible for marketing and establishment of new strategic products for Power plants and Steel manufacturers.
2) Left the job to handle my family Business(1.5 Years) in India. I always wanted to be an enterprenuer & therefore this decision.Responsible for complete management of the business ( from raw material purchase to Finished products).
3) Lack of professionalism & systems in my family business lead to saturation. To get more exposure & business knowledge I left my country to join a company which is in the same business as my family business. Currently here for (6 months).
Why MBA at this point in my Life?
To get more international exposure, networking, Strategic & financial know-how etc etc.
My short terms goals are to work in the marketing department of a consumer products company such as (HUL, P&G etc.) .
Long term goal includes coming back to my native land(India/asia) & become an enterprenuer.

Schools : Indiana (kelly), MSU (Broad), NUS (singapore), NTU (singapore), HKUST (hongkong).
Supposing that I score 700 on GMAT do i have a chance at the above schools.
If you do score the 700 or above on the GMAT and you have been leading and making an impact in the current international company, then yes, I do think you stand a chance with these programs. My concerns are that this increase in GMAT score is not an easy one and 6 months in the current international company probably haven't been enough for you to make a sizable impact on it yet. If you are applying next year (and not second round this year), then it will be more likely that you can achieve these dual aims to prepare a strong application.
