Hi there,
I am a male engineering graduate from India and have been working in the software industry as a developer for the past 5 years.
Please evaluate my profile. I would really appreciate any suggestions regarding my chances of getting an admit to the top 25 MBA schools in the USA.
Scores on GMAT: 770 (Q51, V44), 4 (AWA), and 8 (IR).
Education: GPA 8.46/10 (Electrical engineering, IIT Madras) (One of the premium Tier 1 engineering colleges)
Work experience:
I have an overall experience of 5 years in the Software domain, with 4 years at Samsung Bangalore and the rest at Walmart Bangalore. I've contributed to projects from various domains, such as Samsung Pay (Mobile applications), Samsung MRI and Ultrasound (Healthcare), and Walmart data platform (Retail), making a meaningful impact on the final delivery.
Post-MBA goals:
My profile suggests that I might be able to get into product management roles. But I am kind of unhappy with my involvement in pure development-related roles. I want to explore and get into one of consulting/finance/general management.
Extracurriculars:
I play badminton/chess or read books in my free time.
PS: How badly is my bad AWA score going to impact my chances?
