Profile assessment:
I am an IT professional with 8 years of industry experience. I also have 1.5 years of international exposure. My academic scores have been 88% in school and 74% in college. I have been an active participant in various extra- curricular activities throughout college and also during my career. I am going to write the GMAT in April this year and hope to get a score of 700+ (I have been getting 680+ in practice tests ..so hope to cross the 700 mark after 2 more months of practice).
I target to make to EPGP 2017 batch and have the following queries:
1- What does the admission committee look for in the application? How should I write my profile so that it doesnt look like another IT profile (which is the max %age of applicants).
2 - Do I need to have certificates for every extra curricular activity that I have undertaken during college or work?
3- My current work profile is a non-managerial role. Does the admission committee necessarily look for middle management applicants?
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hi Divya,
1. Adcom looks at the entire profile including academics, quality of work experience, both professional and personal achievements, GMAT/GRE score, SOP, references and interview performance. You need to highlight your achievements, personality, hobbies etc in your SOP that stand out and help you differentiate your profile.
2. Ideally you should as you may be asked to prove it
3. Not necessarily, we do have students in the current batch who have not had any managerial experience
