Dear Veritas Team,

If anyone please evaluate my profile so that i can measure myself what are my chances for MBA.

Here is a summary about my background:

Age: 23

GMAT: Not taken yet (Date = 7th January 2016) - Expected to get 650 - 700
Bachelor's (Electrical Engineering) GPA: 3.03
Work experience: 13 months as a Data Center Officer @ China Mobile Pakistan

I am seriously aiming to apply to Full Time 2 years MBA in Carey School of Business (Arizona State University), Tippie School of Management (University of IOWA) & Hough School of Business (University of Florida).
I will be an international student from Pakistan. Any advice that should i go for MBA and what chances do i have?

Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing your profile. Now your GMAT is not set so it is hard for me to give you a real recommendation given your range but if you can settle close to the 700 range you should be in good shape here for the schools listed. Keep in mind you are a very young candidate and I'm not sure your current work experience will blow the schools away but the better you can articulate your career journey/trajectory the better you will be

Thank you so much for your feedback. VeritasPrepDozie Let me elaborate some of my background and post-MBA goals. My background is from a business family, my father was a businessman here in Pakistan and i used to help him during my studies even. Although after his death, responsibility was on my shoulders and i couldn't hold it longer than 2.5 years and it fell. It was a big failure but i learned hell lot different things from this. After business failure, i continued my studies and after completing my engineering i am now working in a Chinese company China Mobile. If i talk about my post-MBA goals, first i want to do my MBA in Entrepreneurship or International Business, (well honestly i don't know much that which university has the best Entrepreneurship) because i want to start my own tech-business.

After taking my GMAT, i'll have at least 3 weeks to apply to all the universities i mentioned earlier, So i'll prepare my essays in that time.

Looking forward your response! Thanks.

You will most certainly want to lean on your family entrepreneurship experience and the lessons learned from that and definitely you mobile experience particularly in a market like China. All of these things align well with your career goals so should make sense for you
