Hi ThinkISB and the entire forum,
Wishing all of u a very happy New Year. May this year bring all of us a success and prosperity.
I have gone through this thread till the end and I must appreciate the amount of support you guys have been providing on this forum. I have found really interesting and insightful data from them. I have certain specific queries. Please help me out in this aspect.
I currently work as an R&D engineer at one of the Telecom giants and am on the look out for a change in career path. I want to make a career in Equity Research and Financial Analysis.
I will take my GMAT probably in June, 2010. Below specified is what my profile looks like:
10th: 88.5% 12th:77% Engineering:7.8/10(From a government engg college)
Work Experience:
2.5 Years in a major Indian services firm. My client was a Telecom giant from U.S. I was involved in various technical enhancements and developments for the client.
1 Year 8 months in a Telecom product based MNC. I am currently working on one of their R & D lines.
Extra Curricular:
1. Had started the Technical Club at my engineering college. Also took the lead for organising the first Technical Festival for the college. The Club and the technical festivals have now become an annual event and one of the most sought after events.
2. Am an avid traveller and love to trek. I have been on some of the difficult treks across Karnataka
The problem, as you can see, is that my profile seems to lack the punch required to make it through to ISB. Also since I have been more on the technical side (though my progression has been from a Trainee to a Senior R& Engineer), I have had limited exposure to client side interactions.
I have almost 6 to 7 months before I apply. I am working hard for a really good GMAT score, but I need some advise on how to improve my profile.
Some of the steps I am planning to take are:
1. Am targetting to complete basic Indian Securities related certifications of NCFM.
2. Since my basic target is Financial analysis, I am also planning to take up CFA level 1 certification but I would only be able to complete it in December, 2010
I am planning to join an NGO which specialises in Child Education as this is one of the areas which I always wanted to direct my social responsibilities to...
Also please let me know what should be ideal score I should look out for and any other inputs for strengthening my profile.
Thanks and Regards.

Dear ThinkISB,
I got a call for the Interview at Delhi on the 9th. I need to know that now that I have been shortlisted for the IV(despite a very low GMAT score,640), how much weight will it now carry for the final admission?

Dear hitman4683v1,
The steps that you have described are excellent ones indeed to beef up your profile. I would also like to point out that you have done a fair enough evaluation of your own profile and know what the gaps are. Right now it lacks some very important aspects (client interaction, system perspective) and that makes the work experience weak. But the fact that you want to go into financial analysis is something you can fall back on. So, in fact too much experience of telecom will not be a direct plus. This is something you can say to justify your lack of adequate experience.
As for the GMAT score, you HAVE to get 700+. I would suggest 720 - 740 to be a safe score because of 2 factors:
1. Lack of experience.
2. Financial engineering type of roles ask for excellent analytical skills.
Regards,
ThinkISB.
