Hi
Hi niajtihor, I'm not sure how we got these 9 requests all on the Stratus page- and not sure how we have other groups on this link either- but I'll give you some quick thoughts- and then suggest that you also reach out for a free consult for a more robust review: https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com ... b-visitor/I am from India and presently serving as AVP (Treasury Back Office) with Bahrain branch of India's largest bank.
I have over 9 years of team leading experience in various fields of commercial banking including SME credit,
treasury operations, retail banking etc. I am applying for full time Rotman MBA program. Please evaluate my
profile for this program.
Pros:
1) International Work Experience: serving in Bahrain branch since Sept 2015 in treasury operations department
2) GMAT score: 660
I'm not sure I'd put this in the "pro" column as from your pool this score is not going to stand out- even in Canada. Not to say it is an automatic out as it is in the range for school- but just know that the school will likely see many candidates from India with higher scores so the other parts of your application will need to stand out as above average3) Total work experience : 9 years with India's largest commercial bank at managerial level
4) Achieved 2 promotions
solid but not meteoric in progression- focus on results you achieved when describing your work5) pursuing CFA level 2 program.
note if you passed 1 on first try6) leading a team of 2 people here in Bahrain
7) My bank ranks 217 in Fortune 500 & among top 50 Banks of the world.
Cons:
1) Age: 34 years
2) Borderline GPA. i have done 3 year full time bachelor degree followed
by 2 year full time post graduate diploma in International Business from Delhi
University. I scored 60% which is considered first class in bachelor degree and 59% in post graduate degree.
Be prepared to answer why you need a second business degree. There can be good reasons- but expect to address this.Thanks
