Hi
saifmd129,
Thank you for sharing your profile. Starting with stats, your undergrad GPA is good. In addition, you have a decent GMAT score if you are planning to apply for Rotman and Ivey. So, this part is pretty sorted for you. On the work front, leading a team of 10 members would have helped you to showcase your leadership abilities. Also, try to include the impact you brought on the organization you are working for. Regarding your ECs, you can talk about the research paper you have published. Also, try to include any hobby or interest you have. It will bring diversity to your apps and make you stand out from other applicants. Rotman and Ivey seek different values in their candidates, you’ll have to tailor your profile according to their requirements.
As far as your post-MBA Goals are concerned, they make sense for your career trajectory, and I would need more clarity as to why PM and what you're thinking of in the long term. You need to be specific and clear about your post-MBA goals.
If you need more direction/guidance over any aspect of your application and have any specific concerns, you can ask us on the forum
Ask MBA & Beyond.
• Is 3 years a good enough experience of should I wait another year?
Quality is more important than quantity. If you target the correct schools and convincingly illustrate the five qualities listed below in your MBA application essays, CV, and recommendations, you may still have a chance of getting into a top business school:
Positive, practical reasons for applying at this time.
Outstanding professional development.
Outstanding impact, leadership, and success.
Maturity
Ability to contribute to the program both socially and academically.
• Any further suggestions to improve my profile?
You can quickly work to integrate with more job responsibilities at your current job (such as assuming more of a leadership role, taking on new projects, etc.) and spend time improving your work ethic or you can show 1-5 above, apply with the experience you have, and hope for the best while optimizing the rest of your application. Of course, work on ECs as well.
• Is corporate world experience really important for admissions at Top universities?
Business schools want students who can bring credit to their university and want to maximize their success value. Working at firms or companies that compete in the corporate world will make you stand apart from the competition. However, quality matters. Business schools anticipate that you will have a positive, enriching experience (whether you work in the corporate world or any small company).
Overall you have a good profile. What's going to matter most about your application is how you link experiential dots and make a great narrative. If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to answer any of your concerns and discuss your further chances at b-schools. Feel free to
