lease review my profile, I'll be applying to schools starting in 2019:
I am 24 years old, Indian female. I am targeting schools in Europe and Canada mostly.
X- 94.4%
XII- 94.8%
B.E in Chemical Engineering- 9.01/10 CGPA from top state college
GMAT - 660 (not too pleased with the score, might go for a re-take)
Work-Ex- 36 months with a leading multi-national insurance firm. I work in the loss prevention and risk management domain for various commercial and energy enterprises. My job involves a fair bit of travelling and client consulting in various parts of the world, I perform property audits to improve the quality of risk and at the same time assist the company in deciding if we should be writing this business or not.
I like what I am doing right now and I believe than an MBA will widen my opportunities and give me an outlook that can make a bigger impact in the market.
Extra Curricular- I have been training in classical dance since I was seven, I have even taken it up professionally while I was in college performing with various troupes in events such as BRICS summit, Kyoto to Kashi etc. Additionally, I was the dance team head in college.
I was a part of a youth group which consisted of individuals from various colleges across the city, we organised events to raise awareness towards social issues.
I am passionate about public speaking and actively associated with the Toastmasters Club at my work place, currently the Associate President of the Club.
Lastly, I like writing - I have an online blog that I started earlier this year as well as Newsletter that I am editor of at my work place. Other active interests include yoga, fitness and literature.
Awards - Employee of the Quarter, Triple Crown Award (Toastmasters Org.), Best Final Project (College, IIChe)
Papers - 2 published papers while I was completing my undergrad.
My major concern with respect to the application is my GMAT score (My target score was 700-730 while prepping). I want to attempt it again and hopefully cross the 700 mark.
What would be my prospects like if I apply with my current score?
Is there anything that would strengthen my application further especially with respect to scholarship options?
