Hi,
Would seriously appreciate some quick profile evaluation as I am running late in this year's admission process. I would really like to go for my FT MBA this year itself and I am planning to apply in R2. Expert advice from someone would be quite helpful. Following are my details:-
Basic:-
Age: 25 (at matriculation)
Nationality: Indian
Gender Male
Scores:-
GMAT: 750 (Q49, V44, IR 7) - dated November 2014
Previous GMAT: 660 (Q49, V31, IR8, AWA 5.5) - dated September 2012
TOEFL: Not Appeared yet; hoping to write it after submitting my application (I read at some places that this can be done without much concern)
Work Experience:-
Will Complete 4 years and 4 months' experience at matriculation in the field of financial and non-financial research, company valuation, and financial analysis
Company 1:
3 Years 4 Months (July 2010 - Oct 2013) at a globally known firm in the finance world
Received two promotions during this period
10 Months break from work due to personal reasons.
Company 2:
1 year at matriculation (Sep 2014 - ) at an Indian firm.
At an assistant manager position
Education:-
Undergrad:-
Business Degree with specialization in Finance
University: Delhi University
Score: 71% (Not sure about the 4 point CGPA)
Other Courses:-
Completed CFA All 3 Levels and will apply for Charter in April 2015
Wrote 3 NCFM exams (Stock Market Courses offered by National Stock Exchange of India)
Extra Curricular:-
Average or Above average during college
Minimal or close to nothing since college
References
Past and current office seniors.
Other Details (if it matters at all)
Scored 99.24%ile in IIM CAT and received admission calls from number of IIMs
Couple of internships during college
Expectations
FT MBA in US with focus on Finance
Dream: Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia, and Booth
Next to Dream: Stern, Cornell, Ross, Haas, and Darden
Queries:-
Does applying Round 2 (Jan 4/5/6) makes sense? I think I can wrap up the essays and SOPs in that time.
Which of the colleges I have mentioned (both Dream, and Next to dream category) seem within reach?
If not, which ones should I focus on? Also, I don't want to add safe bet colleges this year and would rather try that strategy next year, if I don't get through something this year. Does this make sense?
Looking forward to your valuable feedback.
