Hi all,
I'm a male Mechanical Engineering degree holder from BITS Pilani with a CGPA of less than 6. I have 4 years of work experience in total which includes being a software engineer at an MNC and associate editor at a very successful media startup. However, I have been jobless since August. I am targeting a score of around 750 on GMAT, to be done by September end. Should I pursue an admit at ISB (for Round 2) and top 20 global MBA programs with this profile, or am I trying to punch way over my weight? (Class X – 83%, Class XII – 87%). Have extracurriculars in the form of representing the college in sports and cultural activities.
Thanks
Hi Jabba,
Here is my analysis:
1. a CGPA less than 6 will be troublesome. You must aim for a high GMAT (750) and put in the requisite hardwork
2. A month long gap is alright. It will become troublesome as it increases. If you have quit your company for a reason such as taking GMAT, then it can be a painful decision.
3. your career shift from mechanical engg >>>software eng.>>>>editor at media house will warrant some explanation.
It would be difficult to give a recommendation for b-schools without understanding your profile and knowing the reasons for point 2 &3 above.
