Hello,
Request you to evaluate my profile for chances at following schools:
1. Darden
2. Michigan Ross
3. Stern
4. UT Austin
5. Kelley
6. ISB, India
Demographics : Indian Female (24 years, Market Research and Consulting background)
GMAT :730 (Q50, V39, IR 6, AWA 5)
Educational Background : Engineer with a GPA of 3.1
Work Experience : 3 years 4 months (4 years by the time I join course)
- Started working as a Analyst in a highly selective (selection rate <5%) yet small research firm (part of Monitor Consulting Group). Worked with a tough Telecom client in projects such as competitor analysis, developing go-to-market strategy, market assessment, etc.
- Received the 'outstanding client service' award as a part of the team of 3 members within 6 months of joining the firm
- Moved to the Market Research division of one of the Big 4 Consulting firms as an Analyst and within 6 months reached the role of 'Practice Knowledge Coordinator' for APAC region
- Moved to a highly reputed global telecom house as an analyst where I was involved in working with teams across UK and Hong Kong in telecom sub-industries such as Spectrum, mobile for development, Mobile money, etc.
- Spearheaded (working directly with the India head) the transition of the India office to an an agile software tool, which helped improve the productivity of team by almost 15%
Extra Curricular : Dance trainer in a local dance studio, teaching dance to under privileged free of cost
- Served as the IEEE Chairperson in college and organized multiple education camps (these activities were however limited to college)
Post MBA goals : Join a consulting firm or a strategic position within a Tech, Telecom or Media firm
Concentration Industry : Telecom, Media & Entertainment, and Tech
Concentration Role : Consulting or strategy related roles
It would be great if I could receive your feedback about my profile? Also, if you could guide as to should I retake my GMAT? I can manage a 20-30 points improvement in my score, however I am concerned if investing 2-3 weeks right now is a wise option.
Also, if in your mind there are other schools I could may be target.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there!
I think your profile looks great. And no, I would not retake the GMAT. Your score is great and it's time to get cracking on applications!
Your work experience looks really strong, great expertise and exposure to big firms and different countries too. And your post-MBA goals seem well thought out and logical too.
I think you've got a shot at the schools you list, Stern/Ross/Darden will obviously be tougher than the other 3 but I think your profile will be attractive at those three, and well differentiated from other Indian applicants.
Perhaps consider UCLA given your interest in media? The others all seem to make sense.
Good luck!
Kate
