Post MBA Goals: I am at a point where I am looking for a new direction in my career. I am very interested in entrepreneurship, especially in the education sector.
Also since recently I have been drawn more and more to finance and economics subjects. Although I have no prior experience in these areas, I am seriously considering a career in finance.
I am looking to apply to US schools in Round 2. I am aware that I will be competing with the very competitive pool of Indian applicants.
Considering my peculiar interests and background -
Do you think I have a shot at some of the top b schools like Yale, Tuck, Darden or Tepper ?
Do you see any weaknesses in the profile?
Could you also suggest some schools that I may have a reasonable chance of getting into?
Any advice would be much appreciated
Thank you
