Hello,
I'm very keen to get into MBA full time from Indian School of Business or few colleges from Europe. I wrote GMAT in Jan 2016 and scored 640, applied to ISB but did not get interview call from them.
My background is below:
Indian, Male, 39 years.
Education:
1. I have B.Sc degree, 57% finished in 1998 (bad academics)
2. I have an MBA, marketing, 58% finished in 2000
Work:
1. Sales rep in IT - individual contributor role
2. 13+ years experience
3. Few awards and recognition.
4. I had 2 career breaks, each break was about a year long..I was fighting criminal cases.
Personal details (humbled by my many ordeals):
1. I got struck in a false murder case in 2010 and spent few months in jail.
2. I was honourably acquitted in 2015.
3. Humbled by my many ordeals - had to fight corrupt police, RTI's, eventually fought my cases my own in courts..6 years was all frustration and anger.
4. I do help others file RTI's, albeit discreetly on my own way.
My questions:
1. How do I improve my chances of getting into EMBA next year?
2. At 40 years age, how will adcom assess my profile?
3. Most Bschools put a question - how can a student contribute to the school's diversity and be competitive..(unique thing).., so I am struck here what do I make my application interesting (story telling)??
Post MBA goals are General Mgmt & Strategy.
Please tell me on areas to work and improve my chances next year. I have a strong desire to go back to school. (it’s always good to bounce back in life).
Thanks.
Hari
