Hello All,
I am planning to apply in Haas either in R2 this year or in R1 next year. There are few doubts which I have regarding my candidature and overall job prospects for international candidates in US.
Kindly review my profile and share your valuable inputs.
Profile: I completed my graduation in Fashion designing from one of the top 3 colleges in Asia in 2014 with a CGPA of 7.43. I have been working with the biggest apparel organization in India for past 4 years. Have a healthy work experience across 2 different roles.
Extra-curricular: I am a national level athlete and I am regularly involved in different sports.
Have also won national level quiz competitions. Have been involved with couple of NGOs during my college days.
GMAT (Oct’2017) : 700 (Q-50, V-34, IR-8, AWA-5).
Areas of interest : 1) General Management, 2) Marketing
I need your help in deciding whether I should apply in Haas with my current profile?
Also, should I target US B schools? Employment after completing MBA is an important criterion to decide which schools to apply. From few current students in US I have heard really negative reviews regarding job scenario for international MBA students in US. The situation is not bright in even top 15 colleges. Under the current geo-political situation, will it be a viable option to try for any US school?
Also, I will be looking for a scholarship. Earlier I was targeting top 15 US B schools. Though my profile is extremely unique, my GMAT score is on a lower side. Being from India would go against me. Are there any colleges in top 15 where I can expect admission with scholarship?
I am okay to give GMAT again and if required then wait for one year before applying.
Will be obliged if someone can take out time and suggest the future course of action.
I am currently on mobile so I can’t moderate this post however 1. Please post all
profile review requests in the
profile review threads. And 2. please do not spam the threads with a copy and paste of the same post this sends notifications to everyone following the threads.
I will be removing your posts once I am near a desktop.
Thanks.
