Hi Tushar,

First of all any reason of only targeting Nanyang Business school ?

Your profile seems decent for the school and with some small modifications and improvements you stand a decent chance.
GMAT yes, it plays a bigger role in schools in singapore (both NUS and NTU) as traditionally they know Indians have really high GMAT and one of my
friend few years back was actually asked this questions "why is your GMAT low, Indians usually have very high GMAT" (PS : he had 670 if I remember correctly)

You would be at the lower end of the spectrum in terms of WE and also GPA, hence you really need to dig out some other stuff in your profile. The band stuff and concerts is good and different. Social service, I am not sure to what extent and level you have done that.
Apart from that you would need to have some significant achievements at your work or other facets of life.
Do you have any significant achievements in other activities like music and stuff ?

Not clear about the impact of your internships, but please judge them based on result and implications.

CFA can be good add-on but currently you are just a candidate for it, so not sure if that would create any impact.

Applying in early rounds is always an advantage in any school ! so Round 1 would be better.

Again, Nanyang is traditionally a technology university and I think for Finance, its better to choose NUS if you are looking for Singapore as an option.
However, both the schools are really competitive as they get a huge number of applications from India.


Please let me know if you have more questions !

Cheers !

Hi Guys,

I'd appreciate it if someone could assess my profile and answer a few queries:-

Male
Age - 25
Nationality - Indian

I just took the GMAT for the first time on 7 - Oct - 2015 and scored 700 (Q-47 V-39)

My Acads are as follows:-

B-Tech - Electronics and Communications - Manipal Institute of Technology:- CGPA - 7.84/10
CBSE XII Grade - 88%
CBSE X Grade - 92%

My work experience is as follows, it will be 3 years by the time i start my MBA assuming i start it mid-next year

I am a Quality Engineer at a division of Standard and Poors (a financial services firm). However, my role is fairly differentiated from regular Quality Assurance Roles.

I have gained significant domain knowledge of the working of global capital markets, specifically the buy side. My projects have involved design critique, testing, results interpretation and maintenance of Portfolio Management Solutions.

I have also mentored people here. Also, our work culture entails working with very diverse individuals and cultures across the world and need good communication skills with strong emphasis on articulating information deferentially based on the kind of stakeholders who are its intended consumers. These stakeholders include everything from product team individuals, business analysts, developers and financial engineers.

Prior to this I had two internships:-

- One at a public sector firm designing a network centric solution for a radar system
- One at an automation and control firm designing and testing a control system

I am also a candidate in the Chartered financial Analyst (CFA) program - level 1 in december - and believe that this certification will compliment my MBA - finance.

My Co-curricular's include

- Bassist and co-founder of several bands
- independently organized several concerts - including setting memorandums of understanding with co-organizers, acquiring sponsors, funds and headlining and associated performers
- Voluntary services organisation - Social Service

My goal is to acquire some quality education and exposure by pursuing an MBA Finance. My current role keeps gives me quality exposure to the buy side aspect of the capital markets but limited exposure overall. Also, my job title and function does not entail a very client facing role, i believe that the MBA will help me accomplish both of these and much more.

On the basis of all these postulates, could someone please evaluate my profile and advise areas of improvement needed? Including if the GMAT Score is enough (do i need to retake) and what other areas could this profile be improved upon?

Also, i wanted to ask, how much of a difference is there in applying in round 1 and round 2? Are the chances of getting in different for these two?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dhiraj,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply and give some insightful answers.

I am gunning for both Nanyang and NUS, as a matter of fact. Would you happen to know what the median GMAT is for the Indian pool of the applicants in these schools? For some reason, i think 700 is fairly borderline perhaps?

As for other achievements, yes I do have some from both the workplace and from my experiences as a musician and an organizer. Like some major concerts that i organised without any institutional support which would be a demonstration of leadership and also logistical and organisational acumen. The other achievements would be that my bands performed favorably in some contests as well.

Hi Tushar,

GMAT is not the biggest part of your application, but yes given the context for NUS and NTU you may be on the average score for and Indian to apply and you work experience is also not in the higher end of the spectrum.

However, not sure if it may sound comforting, I was shortlisted for Nanyang interview with a GMAT of 700 (same as you).
If you are confident of improving your score you may give it a shot.
Otherwise, work hard on your essays and try to distinguish yourself from the pool in terms of your profile, essays, achievements and post MBA aspirations. That might work as well.

Overall, its hard to tell, as the GMAT scores are constantly on the rise for Indian students and NTU and NUS(specially) receiving a plethora of applications from India makes it worse.

I also mentor MBA aspirants as a passion to equip them to make a more informed decision. You may see the website link in my signature here.
Have a look if you get free time.

Happy to answer more questions here as well !

All the best for your MBA endeavor ! :)

Cheers !
Dhiraj

Hello there !

Definitely the brand name of the company has some impact and it gives and impression to the adcom.
However, it also depends what kind of role you have had in that company and if that is aligned with your future aspirations and stuff.

Overall, a good brand name of the company which is globally known, like you have is always a plus.

Let me know if you have more questions !

Cheers !

Hi AtDelhi,

Quick opinion on your target schools:

While HKU and NTU are both possibilities, INSEAD may be a tough bet with a 640. Yet, the rest of your profile certainly seems competitive, so perhaps you would want to consider retaking GMAT and increasing your score by 60-70 points. That may also help with scholarships at HKU and NTU.

Thanks for this!

I'm in no mood to re-take the GMAT.I'll focus on my essays and recommendations.

My ultimate aim is to get a job in Singapore/Hong Kong.

How easy or difficult is it to get a job there after doing an MBA from these places?These are 1-year courses,hence,I understand it won't be easy securing a placement?

I shall be grateful if someone could please throw some light on this.

If you are applying in Round 2, I'd recommend you retake the GMAT. 630 is less if you have an over represented profile (regular route IT work experience, not a top university).

Hi,

pYour work experience is quite low as compared to the class average of 6 years. You will need to have strong reasons for why you want an MBA now and how you can contribute to the
class
