Hi everyone,
This is Bharadwaj from Bangalore, India. I am planning to do MBA in ISB, or in some other reputed B school in US or Europe. I am only interested in one year MBA programs, as I have some personal commitments and can't be without a job for more than a year. I do have considerable IT experience in organizations such as TCS and Capgemini. I worked on the technical side of ERP with experience in SAP Business Warehousing and SAP HANA. I have had the opportunity to work in Germany for a couple of months on Schengen Visa Work permit in 2013 at SAP Client office, Walldorf.
Age:- 30
Planning to start MBA in 2018. Programs that start by January 2019 are also fine.
Experience as of Aug 2017:- 7 years 8 months
GMAT score:- 750 Q-50 V-41 IR-8 AWA-5
Class X percentage:- 85.5
Class 12 Percentage:- 88.2
Btech in IT percenatage:- 64.8 ; GPA as per University defined formula - 3.3
Graduation college:- SVEC affiliated to JNTU-A University
I have sent my GMAT reports to the following Programs:-
ISB PGP
Cornell Tech MBA
Emory one year MBA
Kellogg one year MBA
IE International MBA
Insead
I don't have any extra curricular activities/achievements or community service to show-case. I have got 2 recognition awards for my efforts in the team, and I have got certified in organization level certifications related to SAP. I worked for a few months as a back up team lead for a team consisting of 10. Please let me know how much my profile weighs with other applicants aspiring to join in those programs. I am willing to get into Information Technology industry post MBA, as I already have significant experience in the industry. I won't shy away from getting into Consulting roles or roles involving Data analytics.
Advice regarding the above programs and my chances of getting into one of those programs are appreciated. At the same time, I would love to know more about any other programs that suit my goals.
Thanks

Dear Bharadwaj,
First of all, fantastic GMAT you got there! That will definitely help boost your profile.
Right now the thing is from the way you present yourself, your profile lacks depth and breadth. Now it may be there! And in fact in your application your job will be to bring it out. But if you just tell people "I've been doing IT stuff for 8 years" it is not gonna sound very impressive.
So the first is to rethink how you present yourself. The most important things will be for you to present yourself as a leader and a teammate, and showcase your MBA/Business skills. Secondly, you don't want to give an image of an IT guy who has stagnated, so it will be important for you to show how you have grown and improved over the years, and how this naturally leads to an MBA. finally, you mentioned you don't have much in the way of ECs which is too bad, but it is important at this juncture to make the best of what you DO have.
But first of all, before we get into schools: what are your goals? Short and long term? And why did you choose those schools you chose? Do you only want to attend one-year programs? Do you have a preference of the US or Europe? What is it you want to do, and how is the MBA supposed to get you there?
If you would like a more in-depth profile evaluation, drop us a line, and we will hook you up!

Hi sangarajubharadwaj,
Because there are lots of Indian tech guys applying to B-schools, it’s important for you to differentiate yourself in some way from others. Your odds will also depend on how well-rounded your profile comes across in terms of business/ managerial skills (working with diverse set of people, stepping up during difficult times, disproportionate impact, career progression, mentoring and so on) because your work has largely been tech. On target schools, Stern has launched a tech MBA this year. Downside, it’s new and you can’t see track record.
