Hi GyanOne

I intend to apply in Round 1. Kindly help to evaluate my profile;

GMAT - 730 (Q49 V42)

Experience
- Originally from West Africa but currently in the first year of a 2.5 year job rotation in a US office of a Big4 accounting firm.
- Prior to that, I worked in the same Big4 firm in West African for 6 years, rising to the position of Manager. My role is primarily tax consulting and technology. I spearheaded a number of projects working with State Governments to improve processes. These projects led to >15% revenue increases in the first year.
- Led a team of 12 that designed a mobile app at work. Also redesigned a computation model that had been in use in my local firm for about 10 years prior, and the new model saved over 6,000 man-hours in its first year of deployment.
- In addition, I redesigned curricula and facilitated training sessions for my firm's new hires for about 2 years, with each new hire class being about 70-80 in size. My current role in the US firm is data and analytics and I have been deployed to some firm-wide projects.

Education
I have a first degree in a science major from a no-name State University in West Africa. GPA of 4.4 on scale of 5 (top 5 in class of 800+). I also served as Treasurer for my departmental association and was employed part-time by the department to tutor junior classes.

Additional
I am a Certified Accountant (ACCA) and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. I was president of a youth body that successfully executed a campaign against human trafficking in a State in my home country. I also volunteer as a facilitator for two non-profit educational organizations (one back home and one in the US) and I serve as mentor to two college seniors as part of another non-profit.

I am targeting H/S/W Booth and Haas

Hi Vivek

- Your acads and GRE score are a bit low. Your objective of a 720+ on the GMAT is the right one.
- If we read your work-ex sequence right (feel free to add anything we are missing) and you are currently at ChessCube, that might create a bit of a question with respect to the consistency for a career in IT consulting. Your chess achievements are great, but you will need to clarify why you left a role that was more aligned to your goal.
- Would love to know more about how you see Chess as part of your future plans (personal or professional)
- ECA seems fine.

With a 720+ your chances at ISB should be good (not sure you are looking at ISB at all, but given that this is a thread for ISB profile evaluations adding a perspective on ISB).

This is not the right thread for discussions on other schools, so request you to post here:
