Hi,
GMAT : 690 (Quant 50, VA 32, IR 7, AWA 4.5). I am looking for 2016/17 admissions
Graduation : done my Bachelors in Technology in Computer Science in Engineering from NIT Nagpur (Indian Govt. top 25 engg college in India.Right after IITs) with a 6.46/10 GPA (GPA remains low since I was not very interested in CSE but had grown interest in Finance towards the end of my Bachelors.)
I am currently working in an Sapient Global markets (Financial services company) for 33 months as a Business analyst.I work in a project where we have created a Reporting tool used by our clients(Many US and UK Investment banks) for reporting Over-The-Counter(OTC) trades to CFTC(Like SEC but for OTC products).We also handle reporting to CME , ICE and some other European and Australian regulations.My current role is to create Functional specs, Data dictionaries, understanding client requirements and advising them in various aspects, give client demos and presentations about the business side of projects, helping software developers translating business requirements to relevant codes etc.
In my previous role in this project , I worked as a technical-cum-business support staff to our clients. This included daily interaction with our clients and helping them in their business or technical BAUs/queries/incidents. It also included giving client demos/presentations/handling high stake client calls with our director/VPs and working in high intensity time bound situations.
But I have recently resigned from the company and I will be joining HSBC as an Assisstant Manager - Financial Operations as they were providing me a better opportunity.
I have a few research paper ideas in mind and would like to publish a few finance research papers in leading Indian journals.
Given my interest in Finance , I want to an MBA/Masters in finance from a school preferentially in South east Asia which has good finance program.
My preferred schools are : NUS , NTU , ISB , SMU ,Some good schools in HK.
I am willing to wait for a year or 2 for my MBA admit as I hope to have a good working experience with HSBC until that.
Also, I have worked with an NGO in New Delhi teaching and helping many orphan/single parent boys. I was the local manager/leader of a group handing various social service events all throughout Delhi. I worked there for almost 2 months (weekends) but had to leave due to office work on weekends.
Can you please evaluate my profile and suggest If I need to hone a few skills or do something else to strengthen it ?
Thanks and Regards,
Vineet

Hi 
As prospective MBA aspirant I am happy to respond . Your target B-schools are obviously great choices . Your profile seems good but it's very difficult to comment on the list of colleges you have mentioned above without knowing more about you and your career aspirations . I say this because applying to b-schools is a strenuous activity in itself.
So my advice to you would be to appear for GMAT once again . You should aim at scoring atleast 700+ . In most cases (unless specifically stated otherwise by the school), the lower scores have relatively low (or zero) impact, and the higher score counts the most by far. If you don't score in your first attempt you can always give it multiple times ( less than 5 though ) . Most schools will indeed consider your highest score.
At the end , my simplest recommendation you’d get is that you should contact these colleges you have mentioned for admission process . You should send an email to all the above colleges with your profile summary including these points :-
1.Updated CV
2.Statement of Purpose SOP
3.Work experience
4.Academics/Extra Curricular
5.Post MBA plans
The other option (This might be more obvious!) would be to consider working with a credible MBA admissions consultant to develop and execute the best possible application strategy, after you have given GMAT again . I reckon you will land in good college .
If you have any other query do post it .
Best Of Luck
Regards
ANUJ SINGH
