Hey!
So I see some really good stuff here - female candidate in banking! with an awesome GMAT! and great GPA! from a very good school!
So far so good. The one big weakness I see is in volunteer work/ ECs.. as I dont see much.
But the big question mark for me is: work: what do you do? how fast have you advanced? what leadership experience have you had? what about your family business? how big is that? what did you actually do?
In sum: you are for sure at least good to go for Top 20 schools, but the question is: Top 15? top 10? top 5?
(All good choices)And if you provide me a biiiiiiit more detail, we can get closer to the truth,
So why not drop us a line here: https://admissionado.com/free-consultati ... n=mba_blog
Best,
Jon

Hi,
Thank you for reviewing.
My role in Citibank was in the Technology and Operations department hence I feel a bit disadvantaged compared to my peers applying to those schools who are from finance background. But since my major was Computer engineering I decided to go into tech. A few years, 3 years, down the line I realized I wanted to handle a bigger business. My family business has over 300 employees. Its a manufacturing firm which manufactures soap and washing powder and I have been handling the supply chain and the logistics part but have understood a lot about the other functions. I have shown initiatives in some areas and expanded the business and digitized it using my tech skills.
Also my GPA is 4 out of 5. So I am not sure if it is according to the average of US standards. I am a Second Upper Honors though!
I have had leadership roles in NTU - Business Manager of the Hall, Secretary for Indian Social Society and other clubs.
Even at Citibank I was promoted to Assistant Manager and mentored 2 new grads, was part of the basketball club and published a newsletter for my team every month.
Volunteer work has been an integral part of me since school, at university - I was part of Red Cross and blood donation drives. In Citibank, I took part in YMCA events and donated a part of my monthly salary to charity. In India now I am helping a cancer society by providing medicines and spending time with the kids.
I wish to make it to the top 10 hopefully. Any suggestions, any line of action that I should take?
Thats a gist of my profile. Hope it helps
Thanks a lot!
