Hello,
I am an a female (23) Indian applicant and did my Bachelors and Masters in English. I pursued the major because of my passion for literature but as I got involved with more research and student activities, I felt the need to also gain leadership skills. Thus, I chose to enter the corporate world and gain some real-world experience. I am currently working as a content writer with the digital marketing team of a major corporate hospital chain in India and have been for the last 5 months.
My role is not confined to just content though. I recently ran a successful marketing campaign that I hatched and executed with the help of my team, working in collaboration with colleagues with over a decade of experience. This experience has thought me a lot and gained me a lot of credibility at my workplace, extending my scope of work to analytics and strategy as well.
I have also expressed interest in entrepreneurship and leadership throughout my academic life, where I did extra credits in business development and was an active student leader working on various activities on and outside campus. Additionally, I have also led by example by teaching in a differently-abled school for two years, encouraging several people around me to gain an interest in volunteer activities and to contribute meaningfully.
I wish to do an MBA next year after a year's work experience in order to gain the adequate marketing and leadership skills for the professional world. My current qualifications will hinder my growth, especially in India, where prerequisite degrees are a huge part of resume evaluation.
I wrote the GMAT recently and scored 730 on the test.
I would like to know the best schools to apply to considering I will have exactly a year's worth of work experience at the time of admission. Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to GMATclub. Congratulations for GMAT 730.
1 year of experience before MBA is too low for American and European B-schools. Your profile looks good and will be stronger and if you will score 750 above. You should apply to top 20 B-schools in the world and I suggest you to aim for top only.
If you need to apply in India, then the list is short - ISB and IIMs (A, B, C)
I suggest you below:
1. Increase your GMAT score to 750 or above
2. Gain more experience. At least 2 years of experience. Get some leadership assignments
3. Keep continuing/ give time for extra curricular activities, hobbies and social cause, etc.
4. Start researching about schools which are best in Marketing, Leadership and Entrepreneurship. Make a list, see their placement reports, find the alumni and current students. Try to connect with them and ask their feedback.
You have enough time to get into a school. You are on the right track and right time to make your profile stronger. Let me know if you need further suggestions.

Unfortunately with only one year of experience you'll be too junior for an MBA program. The adcom generally wants to see applicant with 3-5 years of experience upon matriculation. That said, you'd be a perfect fit for a MiM (masters in management) program, which targets applicants with one year or less of work experience who want to accelerate their business career. Many of the top programs specific target candidates with non-business undergrad degrees. There are some awesome MiM programs at schools like Kellogg (they call theirs a masters in mgmt studies), Ross, & Duke to name a few.
