Profile evaluation [#permalink] New post   24 Sep 2015, 03:42
Hi I have graduated from IIT Roorkee(India) in 2014 with Intg.M.Tech degree and I have a CGPA of 7.795/10. I have worked as student leader for girls wing of the campus during my 3rd year and club secretary in my 2nd year and organized few events in the campus. I have foreign intern from NTU,Singapore and have done my dissertation form the same university.I also have an internship experience in equity research. Unfortunately I couldn't accept the job that was offered to me during my campus placements and after that I have to stay back at home and I completed my CFA Level 1 in December 2014 and am planning to appear for Level 2 in June 2016. I have worked as a volunteer at Make A Difference from Jan 2015- May 2015. But I am not holding any work experience and currently don't hold any formal position in any company.I am currently preparing for GMAT and my Target score is 740+. I want to get into MSF program by 2016. I would like to know prospective programs that I can get into and also I would like to know if staying back at home after my graduation without taking up a job will become a problem?? If so could you give some ideas to compensate it..Somebody pls reply

Hi Sai,

Even if you do not take up full time employment, you should try to be meaningfully employed- may be take up a finance role at the NGO where you are volunteering. Or do another internship. Even if you do get into an Ms this year, you would have almost a year before you join the program, and being at home is just going to eat into your valuable time.

Here's an article we wrote that gives some volunteering options: https://mbadecoder.com/volunteer-for-mba-app/
You can try to explore an opportunity with Swaniti Foundation, which is a brilliant platform to make an impact.

Hi namitha,

Thank you very much for the reply. I will surely work on them and any idea about the schools that I have to focus upon while sending my applications?? Will I be a potential candidate for Sloan MSF ??

Your GPA looks like it translates into above a 3.5/4.0 on the US scale. I think you have strong EC's. I like all the volunteering and women group activities. Assuming you get in the 700's I think you'd be a competitive applicant for MIT. You might want to consider their new 18 month option as it will allow you to have a summer internship to get build your finance experience on the resume. Also look at WUSTL, Vanderbilt, USC, etc. All good programs.
