Hi Guys,
Age : 25
I gave my GMAT a week ago and scored 690(Q49, V35, IR8, AWA5.5).
Background:-
Did my undergrad from a reputed university (Tier - 1 college in india) with a GPA of 9.1/10. I held an executive position in organizing committee during my final year. I actively participated and was part of organizing team throughout my college time.
Work experience:-
Initial few months i was out of job, because the company from which i got the offer during my campus placements never bothered to to share the joining date. But i struggled and started working for a startup (worked there for like 4 months) as a structural engineer. There my work comprised of nearly everything spanning from client interaction to technical work and field job.
Finally switched into financial risk sector and started working for one of the leading bank of UK. The location is based out of India only and i am completing my 3.5 years now. In this time span i have been promoted to senior manager. My work majorly involves doing risk assessments of various products a bank offers and predict the risk associated to it. This is done my developing forecasting models that can predict the behavior of a certain pool of customers. Finally reports are presented to highest management and strategies are developed accordingly. Apart from technical stuff, i am also mentoring a few of my team members and taking active part in organizing various knowledge sharing sessions.
Target colleges:- Kellogg, Columbia, Tuck
My questions:-
1. I know my score is on lower side, so should i give another try and apply in R2?
2. Do i need to add anything more into my profile so that i can stand out of the competitive pool?
3. Will my initial stumbling and struggling will hamper my chances?
Really appreciate your help. Looking forward for your reply.
