Post-MBA Goals:
Short-term goal: My work revolves around interacting with product managers, and I personally manage/drive development on smaller components of the product.
So, I can leverage that experience, to take on Product Manager role in Tech orgs.
I am further working on obtaining certifications for public clouds(AWS, Azure).
I had written GMAT in 2018, but never applied to any college. I want to target schools which are conducive to careers in Tech and can provide financing/scholarship(50pc or more) options. Targeting schools in US, ranked 10-25.
I would be grateful, if you could recommend MBA programs, that suit my profile.
I am hoping to apply in R1, so if I could improve my score by say 20pts, would that improve my chances at higher ranked colleges?
Thank you
Hi
pakalupapitoThanks for posting. Here is our take:
- Your 700 may be a bit on the lower side, especially for schools in the 10-20 range, given that you are an IIM (Indian IT Male) applicant. You should retake and aim for a 730+ to be competitive in this segment. Your 700 will make you competitive in the 20-30 school range though. The rise in GMAT is important especially also because your GPA is decent but not great.
- Please provide more details on your leadership, recognitions, business exposure while at Unisys.
- Do you have any international experience with Unisys?
- Your ECA are decent but not outstanding. Most of them are a bit dated as well. This is a point of concern.
Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more questions as needed.
