Indian male- 25 years.
Undergrad from India - Electronics and communications GPA - 3.4
Masters from Carnegie Mellon University - GPA 3.5
GMAT- 700 (But i took it in Dec, 2008)
Experience -
2 years in a reputed IT company in India (i know this is the sad part)
Currently working in a leading European Bank as a business analyst in USA
By the time I join B-school total experience will be 3.5 years in Commercial/Private Banking.
Right now I deal directly with the directors and managing directors of the company.
And I have plenty to explain about my job responsibility. (so not want to flood you with details)
Handle a team to 7-9 people in Singapore, California, NY.
A lot of Social service activities. I don't want to mention it here. I am a bit conservative about my participation. But I will mention it in my essays.
Target School - HBS, Wharton, Stanford, Chicago, MIT, Berkley Haas
Why I want MBA after my Masters
- I want to move into consulting industry as I feel, this is what I exactly want to do.
- I would like to work with different industries and don't want to keep my occupied only with financial sector.
- But I need to learn and understand how to develop the skills, which are required to deal with the problems of diversified industry group.
- So I feel it will be pretty hard for me to acquire these skill without an MBA from a very good school.
- I have worked as a consultant for 4 months for the second largest pharmaceutical company in the world as a part of my Masters program. I loved that work and also won the best project award for my contributions.
What I feel might go against me-
- My low GMAT score.
- I already did a masters
- My short experience
Please advice do I stand a chance to these school and also if you need more info on my profile. And where can I improve.
Thanks in advance

With the exception of Chicago, you've picked nothing but the most difficult programs to get into based on admission %. While your numbers are not outstanding, they are certainly in the ballpark.
People will be quick to point out that you're coming from the male/Indian/IT applicant pool, which can be very competitive GMAT-wise. On the good side, you've already transitioned into banking, and you didn't spend a ton of time in IT which is probably a plus also.
I think you can be competitive at Wharton and Chicago, but the other schools will be tough nuts to crack. Definitely retake the GMAT, and work on crafting a compelling story for your application. Good luck!
