Hi All,

Request your help in my reviewing my profile and my choice of schools. All advice/suggestions are welcome.

I am Indian, male , 27 years old and applying for matriculating class of 2017 . My profile is as follows -

Academics - GMAT 750 (Q 49 V 42) B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from a NIT in India - 8 out of 10 GPA , graduated 1st class with distinction

Work Experience - 5 years of experience in operation and retail analytics, presently senior analyst in operation analytics at one of the world's largest mutual fund and financial services institution. Have got 3 promotions and the last one in the shortest duration to be eligible for promotion. Have lead a team of 4 in my previous job .Have won numerous awards and partner appreciation awards at both places.

My work primarily deals with US retirement industry and I directly report to a VP in USA and my daily work includes insights through data analysis and statistical modeling, and helping 41 managers across India and USA for resource planning of their 450 associates. For this I have traveled to USA two times for two weeks each to work closely with my partners. Also have mentored new hires.

Extra-curriculars - Have acted and co-directed short films in college and won awards for it. Was instrumental in setting up IEEE Chapter for my college and increase member base to 50 in 2 years. Member of the corporate social service club in both my companies. Love traveling and playing soccer and table tennis

Languages - English , Bengali, Hindi, Chinese (Basic)

Goals - Although I intend to switch to IB post MBA (ideally in one of the BBs and move on to PE later), I do not have any background in finance. Hence, I have kept Consulting as a backup option as it appears as a logical next step in terms of career progression. For this reason, I have narrowed down on schools which are have decent placements in both the functions - Ross, Tuck, Duke, Booth for R1 and Darden, NUS for R2.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Chanishere,

You are in good shape. Great academics and GMAT score. Your WE is optimum for b-school, you have progressed more than your peers and you work in a hot industry (analytics) - b-schools are giving it more thrust.

All of these will help you present good stories.

I like consulting more as a career goal unless you are really able to tie your past experiences and skills with those required for an IB career.
