Hi,
I plan to take the GMAT in November 2012 and am targeting a score of somewhere in the region of 730. If you could please take a look at the below profile and let me know some schools where my application would be competitive, I would be very grateful.
Nationality : Indian
Age: 26
Undergratuate: Bachelors in Engineering (3.2 GPA)
Postgraduate: MBA from the Indian Institute of Management (regarded as the premier B School in India), among the top 5 students of my batch (3.4 GPA)
Work Experience: 2 years in Investment banking with a global banking giant
Extracurriculars: Asia level quizzer during school, strong debater having won several regional championships (currently the debating champion in my organisation), All India National Talent Search Scholar
Postv my MBA, I would like to work in either consulting or return to Investment Banking.
I was thinking of applying to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia, Yale and Chicago Booth. Please let me know if these schools are long shots for my profile and if there are some other schools in the US that I might look at.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arpan
Hello,
GMAT -- You should ideally score 720+ in your GMAT for top 10 schools of US.
BIGGER CHALLENGE -- I see a bigger challenge for you to prove WHY second MBA especially from b-school such as IIM. I really can not make out from the limited info, so am not sure why you want to do the second MBA ?
Your essays have to be SUPER STRONG to prove the above mentioned point, I am not saying that schools will reject your profile, but you must be ready to prove to adcom as to why you need another MBA ?
Your work ex - there are literally hundreds of applicants with similar background (work ex), you will have to differentiate yourself (how unique your exposure was within the same field ? what extra ordinary contribution did you make at job ? leadership experience, if any
Hope this helps
