Hey there, great to hear form you!

Hey first of all I like your profile! Your GMAT is awesome, your work experience is strong and diverse, and your grades are good (but from what school?)

As an active member of the LGBT movement in a country where its outlawed, you should for SURE use the story... not only will it make your application very memorable, Im sure it has given you a unique perspective, and could make a great story.

And feel free to drop us a line for a more full-on Free Consultation: https://bit.ly/mbafcGC

Best,

thanks jon for your reply.I am not from Teach for India as it has no presence in my state and language.how ADCOMS view my role transition from teaching to bank? I am worried about questions like why u left teaching? my original answer is I always wanted to teach for underprivileged students so taking the help an ngo i got job in rural school after my graduation . I did that after my graduation because i thought it is best time to do before entering into corporate world. SO after working for 1 year i tried for normal jobs and got job in a bank rotational program. will ADCOMS satisfy with this answer?

please suggest me 4 us bschools for my profile

Hey,
Well there are a lot of possibilities. But you are right in that you have to have a good story. The one you proposed is a good one.

As for schools... not being from an IIT top5-10 will be very tough going. But you can try. I'd suggest if you can applying to more schools (say 5-6). NYU, Johnson, Tepper, Columbia, UNC all come to mind (all well connected with the banking industry), but there will be other options as well.

It should get you started though!
:)

Jon
