Hi
SKATIYAR2204,
Thank you for sharing your profile. Your profile looks good on the surface. Starting with stats, your undergrad GPA is good, and a great GATE/ GRE score. You are clearly exhibiting your academic potential. And you have a patent filed this is absolutely amazing and will definitly give a significant boost to your application. On the work front, being a senior engineer, you can bring stories of leadership and impact. I would like to know more about your work experience, like the roles and responsibilities you have undertaken to guide you more.
Your ECs are excellent. Your judo and hapkido experience will bring lots of intriguing stories to the table, as well as diversity to your apps. This would create an interesting conversation between you and adcoms.
Answering your concerns:
1. will my work ex gap of 3years after my graduation, while I was preparing for UPSC(engineering services examination-written cleared) reduce my chances at Top 20 US colleges? will this count as work ex?
It will not reduce your chances. You must explain the three-year gap in your profile so that adcoms are not confused about your candidacy. You can do so by describing what you did. You were studying for the UPSC test and also having teaching experience. So, I don't think this will cause any problems until and until you articulate it effectively. Do you have full-time teaching experience?
2. Is there any chance of a scholarship for my profile in the top 20?
It depends on your profile. How impactful your profile is and how you present it to the adcoms. To provide a more accurate response, I would need additional information about your profile. So far, we have helped many applicants in securing scholarships to top business schools such as LBS (despite low GMAT).
3. Please suggest colleges for Dream, Target, achievable
Insead, LBS in Europe can be a good choice. They are obviously at the top in Europe for consulting and have a very extensive network for IB. They can be pegged as your dream-target schools. HEC, NYU can be in the target category. Rotman, IESE can be pegged in the achievable category. The list I have suggested keeping in mind that you have no country preference. However, the list of schools needs to be improvised after you are ready with your
'Branding for MBA'- Branding is how you portray your profile to business schools. It plays a key role in identifying which schools you have the maximum potential of converting. It is the pre-work that we do with all our applicants.
Hope this helps!
If you’d like, we are happy to hop on a call with you sometime this week to discuss your profile in length and further chances to b-school. Feel free to
book a free session with us as per your convenience.
How to work on international experience, resume and LORCheers!
