Hi,
Can someone please evaluate my profile.
Thanks,
Namit
- Age : 24
- 10th : 90.4% ; 12th : 79.6% ; BE(Environmental Engineering), Delhi College of Engineering( University of Delhi)
- GMAT : 720 (Q49,V38,IR6) ; AWA : Expecting min. 5
- Business Analytics and Consulting , Senior Analyst at Barclays, 3+ years (2yrs with a British Energy Client, 1+ in Financial Services)
- Achievements (Work) :
Won the Best Fresher Award for Mimicry
Won the Case Study competition for new hires
Took the role of team lead for last 6 months in first firm (Getting into it was a huge task itself)
Currently working with the Fraud Decision Strategy stakeholders of credit card portfolio of a leading UK bank.
- Achievements (Outside Work) :
Taekwondo (Green Belt)
Trained in Mixed Martial Arts for a month (planning to resume it as I just wrapped up the GMAT)
Volunteered at Art of Living for close to a year: Organized many personality development workshops and medical check-up for slum dwellers, did crucial research and cold-calling for a Job Fair Project that employed close to 5000 people.
Stock Investing (Invested in 6 companies; generated a return of 15% in 6 months)
Took up various MOOC courses on Coursera and Novoed related to Finance/Economics/Business Models: Average 100% in all
- Career Goals: Have a strong inclination towards Finance but have a bigger inclination towards VC industry (given it is much closer to public welfare). Micro-finance is another potential option I am looking at. Would want to leverage my background in Environmental Engineering to help clean energy start-ups.
Specific concern: Need help in shortlisting B-Schools that fit my plans and if possible help in applications and essays.

Hello, Namit,
You do indeed have an interesting work profile. As you probably know, getting into VC immediately post-MBA is challenging to say the least, so you can use the Plan A, Plan B approach for your short-term goals.
Here are some schools to consider as reasonable reaches: NYU, LBS, Booth; perhaps Insead too. For closer to on-par, consider UCLA and Cornell, and Georgetown for an on-par.
Of course, we would welcome the chance to assist you with the process! Please get in touch if you are interested.
