Hi there.
I'm looking for advice on how to build my profile for the top notch B Schools (M7), particularly H/S/W. I just graduated with a score that WES converts to 4.0, and with a Commerce and Accounts degree from the top University of India, constantly rated as best Commerce college in Asia. I had 97% in both 10th and 12th.
I have taken the GMAT once, but the score was just shy of 700 and so I plan to take it again in an year or two. For now, I'm joining a Top european investment bank at an analyst position (middle office). The job offers a lot of foreign exposure and good peer group.
Other than that, I have strong extracurriculars with a degree in an Indian classical dance form, and I play an Indian instrument too. I'm also Editor of my college magazine, and worked with my team to completely revamp it successfully. Won some case competitions while in college, founded a society, the usual college jazz.
I've done some amount of volunteer work but not a whole lot compared to many others out there, and one of my LOR will definitely be by a Top 20 US bschool professor. Also, I'm a US citizen but brought up in India. I've also presented a paper in an international undertaduate college.
I want to do an MBA because I want to go into venture capital after some point, and then probably start up.
Let me know what course of action I can take to strengthen my chances, other than the Gmat score.(Trying to aim for a 720/730) Should i try to transition into PE or VC or a start up once I have some experience to increase my chances? Is work experience of 2 years enough? Would I be evaluated among my indian peers or american peers? Do i need some volunteer work? Thank you so much! Looking forward to your reply.
Oh, and I'm taking my CFA L1 this year too. By the time I apply, i should be done by CFA L2 too.

You are on the right path, I would say the most important area to focus on is your work experience. Focus on really busting your butt at your new role in IBD this will be the most important area as you are applying for b-school after all. As far as your career goes go any career decisions that get you closer to your goals in VC will help so all of the roles listed are feeders for VC firms so the school will see you as a viable candidate and your goals as realistic. 2 years is enough if you feel you have gained the requisite experiences necessary to reach your goals and add something to your classroom. You will certainly be on the younger end of the spectrum but you can certainly create the right application package with the right experience. As far as what bucket you fall in, you will be in the bucket that most represents your experiences. If you were born in the US but spent most of your time in India then your experiences may more closely mirror that group. Now your ability to highlight the diversity of your background can play a role if you package it appropriately and have had some global experiences. Volunteer work is always helpful as long as it is meaningful and you have mad and impact or secured some strong interpersonal experiences.
You are on the right path!

Thanks a lot for the help! Just a quick note, I'm in the Sales and Trading department of the Investment Bank, will that impact my chances? I'm asking because I can look to transition before applying to B-school if that is the case. Also, being from the 'overrepresented' Indian pool, will a GMAT of 720/730 be enough if I'm a non IT female? :D
Thanks a ton again!
