Hi
Zuki1803,
Your profile looks quite decent.
Beginning with your academic record, your GPA is pretty good and VIT does embellish your profile with its name.
However, you must be considerate of the fact that you would be competing again applicants from top colleges like IITs and the schools that HEC & INSEAD give preference to.
Also, since you’re aiming for a GMAT score of 720+, I’d like to add that any score above 700+ is pretty good.
As you have worked for 1.6 yrs in L&T, your work ex. is quite satisfactory. L&T is a decent brand, thus, highlighting your work and contribution in the project- Cognos Analytics(AI Smarter business intelligence)- would be very much instrumental in your application. Linking this project to your career goals would be helpful.
And SIX Sigma Certification would be helpful if it aligns with your goals, like if you wish to work in the consulting field.
Further, the extracurriculars are also fine. In particular, positions like Vice- President/President and Finance Lead are quite great to illustrate your leadership and various other skills. Though your extracurriculars you can convey how you proactive you were for outside the classroom activities as schools seek holistic profiles.
You shall link the projects you’ve undertaken to your goals to convey your earnestness in a specific field.
Given the schools, you are planning to target, you won’t be eligible for NUS as they don’t accept engineers. Speaking of school categorization of others, HEC & INSEAD are dream schools, ESSEC is competitive, EDHEC is a safe school, & NTU doesn’t offer the MiM program. Hence, for NTU you need to search the program you want to apply for.
Amongst the lot, HEC is the toughest as they give a lot of preference to applicants coming from the top 10 schools and strong application. Nonetheless, if you score a good GMAT, have a very strong application at hand, and apply in Round 1, you can have a chance at winning an admit into HEC.
To wind up, I’d like to add that arriving at a sound decision regarding applying to which schools/country is certainly a detailed process and requires screening various essential factors. Thus, to have a more clear picture of the schools you should be applying to, you can schedule a FREE Consulting Call with us & connect with one of our consultants through the link given below-
