Hi,

I would like to request you to evaluate my profile for top 20 MBA programs in US for class matriculating 2016.


Education:

High School (10th) - 73%

Higher Secondary (12th) - 72%

Bachelor of Engineering - 73%

Extra Curricular:
1. Participated in Regional Cricket and Volleyball competitions representing our school.
2. Write poems but unpublished.


Professional Experience:

Total Experience: Over 9 Years by the March '16.

Worked in:

1. L&T Infotech Ltd., Mumbai (2.5 Years)
-> Lead a team of 6
-> Awarded with Star Performer Award for Leadership

2. TCS Ltd., Mumbai (3.3 Years)
-> Lead a team of 10
-> Awarded with On The Spot award for quick issue resolution.

3. Nucleus Software Pte Ltd., Singapore (6 Months)
->Worked on improving existing processes but do not have any written proof for the same.

4. HCL Singapore Pte Ltd., Singapore (By March '16 it will be approx 2 years as I have no plan of changing job again till I get into business school :) )


I am preparing for writing GMAT by January 2015 and aiming for 700+ score.

Can you please suggest if my profile will be able to draw attention of top 20 business schools. If no, what score should I aim for in GMAT (as that is the only thing apart from admission essays and interview, that I can work on right now).

What all schools can I aim for? I am highly inclined towards Strategic Consulting post MBA and have read Michigan Ross and Emory Goizueta being good schools for people who are willing to get into Consulting post MBA.

Thanks in advance.

- Jitendra

Hey Jitendra,
Well the good news is that you have an awesome amount of leadership! And this should really really help you boost your profile, even if it is an Indian/Male/IT one :). If you can beat a 720, you will have a good shot at Top 20 schools, although Top 5 will be very very tough.

So make sure you kill that GMAT!!!!
:)

In the meanwhile, here are a few posts for you that are relevant to you applying as an Indian candidate, and that you might find helpful:

Indian Applicants and Top 10 schools: https://admissionado.com/mba/resources/t ... b-schools/

And then there was Walter, our Indian applicant who blogged for us. You can follow the full history of it here: https://admissionado.com/?s=Walter&submit.x=-1054&submit.y=-47&lang=en

Hope this helps!
Best,
Jon

Hi Jon,

Glad to see your response. Your inputs certainly make me more confident and guide me to deliver my best at GMAT. I have been preparing hard for GMAT and am putting my tear and toil to break that 700+ mark.

I will be writing GMAT in January and soon after that will get in touch for shortlisting schools and getting started with application process. I am planning to apply to R1 in most of the schools I am targeting in order to have better chances with the scholarships.

Excellent. Right now don't yet worry about schools or whatever. You have to concentrate on your test. But once you do get your scores, just drop a line and we can try and get into more detail and think through your list together.

Best,
Jon
