Hi,
I like to have an evaluation of my profile please.
I am Greek, living in the UK for the last 9 years. I am a Computer Science graduate from the university of Sussex.
GMAT: haven't taken the exam yet, but I would aim for 700+ (although I don't know how much a lower GMAT, say 620, would impact to my application)
Bachelors - Computer Science with Hons 2:2
Masters - Multimedia Applications and Virtual Environments (Computer Science) Hons
First in both final year projects in BSc and MSc, however I will try to compensate the low grades with a high GMAT score.
I have been working in IT since late 2008 as a software developer, starting my career from the ground up and taking some initiatives in the companies I was working for to increase performance / income. I also have IT certifications (Scrum Master) which is essential for a team leader in IT, and have been team leader in various teams.
My primal reason for an MBA is to explore my options for a career change in Finance or Corporate or even creating my own consulting business, maybe as an Analyst or in Risk Management.
I am 29 years old but thinking of applying for the 2014 class.
Extra Curricular Activities:
I have been a band leader back in my uni years, a coach in the basketball team for a couple of years and a member of the Greek community organizing events and providing information.
Nowadays I am into trading in my free time.
Targeted schools:
Looking to get into one of these schools for FT MBA
LBS, Insead, HEC, Imperial or maybe HBS.
Are there any areas that shout "I need significant improvement" ?
Thanks for your time and help.
Thanks and Regards
