Hi Jon,
GMAT score: 720 (V36, Q51, IR8)
GPA : 8.4/10 (B.Tech &M.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Madras (Top 5 Engineering colleges of India))
Work Ex: I have 4 years of work experience in the field of Business Analytics & Machine Learning. I am currently a Manager at Citi and got multiple award at global level (for individual performance and Project of Excellence). I also achieved multiple awards in my first company (Aviva Life Insurance).
With a strong background of this new upcoming field (Analytics/ Machine Learning), I with one of my friend started a website called Analytics Vidhya. Our objective is to develop a one stop solution community for all analytics professionals, where people can discuss, read and get practical examples of business scenarios where analytics can provide an out of box solution for FREE. Our website global ranking has gone up to 90,000 in just 3 years and we are now second biggest online platform for analytics, just after DSC (which took ~8 years to reach a rank of 45,000).
Nationality: Indian
Gender: Male
Long term Objective : I plan to pursue my career into strategy and Business Consulting.
I also have a strong extra curricular activity profile in my Grad school. I plan to apply in 2 dream college, 2 good college and 1 sure shot college. Currently I am thinking of Kellogg, Yale , Ross , HKUST , NUS. Can you please give your expert opinion on this list. Also can you suggest alternate schools/strategy if you see a hole in my choice/strategy ? I am open to both 2 years and 1 year MBA program.
Thanks,
Tavish
