Hi
sveniga4, one thing that struck out in your profile was your post-MBA goal of transitioning into
Consulting!
You need to walk on a
thin line there, because you already have a Masters in a very specialised domain (
Power and Energy Systems). Both, your bachelors as well as your work-experience are completely in-line with this domain.
Hence, after around 7 years of work experience in your
core domain, it might be slightly tricky to articulate a complete
career-change into consulting.
My suggestion would be that rather than leaving the post-MBA goal to a generic
consulting, we need to be slightly more specific (such as
Operations Consulting or
energy consulting); basically something that does
not look like a complete
departure from your
education and
experience so far.
Needless to say, all other parameters (such as GMAT score, diversity of experience, your International experience etc.) seem to be working well for you.
