Hello
Akshit24The good-1. GMAT score- this is a good score for most schools and will help you prove your academic credential.
2. Years of Work Experience- by the time you begin the course, you will be in the sweet spot for most schools (~4-5 years). However, remember that work ex is not measured in just years, but rather the depth/quality of work experience.
The bad-1. Undergrad CGPA look quite low and can be a deal breaker for some top schools. Your GMAT might be able to compensate for this in some schools though. This can be a factor in selection of schools, as you do not want to select schools that are finicky about undergrad scores.
2. As an Indian Male Engineer, you belong to a large and competitive pool of applicants and will need a lot of
qualitative strengths to stand out and showcase diversity. This is what brings me to the next point.
The unknown-1. Professional Experience- Unlike academics, work ex is not measured quantitatively. More than years, role and industry you will need to focus on impact Career progress and achievements at work.
2. Extracurricular- The Red Bull experience sounds interesting. But more than a bullet point, it will matter what sort of accomplishments have you had here. If done well this could help you showcase diversity. Sadly, no other extracurricular activities are mentioned. Get involved in some meaningful activities.
3. Career Goals- No mention of long term/short term career goals and why an MBA is the most logical step to achieve these goals. More importantly, you are already due to move into a Product Management role- one of the most sought after role post MBA. What are your other preferences in terms of geography, industry etc. Clear, specific and realistic career goals play the biggest role (by far) in selection of right schools.
