Hello,
Please find the following information to help you evaluate my profile.
Age: 24
Nationality: Indian
Gender: Male
Keen interest in Operation Management as my specialization for an MBA.
Schools I would like to apply are Columbia Business School, Haas, UCLA, Michigan Ross, NYU Stern, CMU Tepper.
I am a little concerned about my chances to get in because of my background in architecture (although I have decent exposure to Project Management and Leadership). I will be hoping that you would help and direct me so that I have a better understanding of my chances to get into the above-mentioned colleges and what you would consider as stretch schools for my profile.
1) A brief description of my full-time work experience:
I am an architect currently working in India. I will have accumulated 3 years of full-time experience in the same firm where I have managed multiple projects. My experience in the firm has helped me understand process involving the management of a project and I am inclined to understand the business part of processes involved.
I also have 1 year of Internship experience under my belt, but this year was purely the architecture part and very scarcely related to management.
2)GMAT 1: 640 - 70 Percentile (Q46 V31)
GMAT 2: 730 -96 Percentile (Q 50 V39)
3)College Info:
Bachelor of Architecture 2011-2016 (CGPA 7.1/10)
Manipal University.
4) Significant college and post-college extra-curricular activities or community service, especially leadership experience:
i. An active member of a non-profit run for educating children for the past 2.5 years. I help in organizing events for fundraising as well as recreational activities for children associated. I also take up pro-bono work for the non-profit in designing the schools.
ii. Undergraduate College Team Captain in Table tennis and represented the College.
iii. Represented the College Team in Cricket.
5) Important certifications like CFA, CPA, FSA, or CA:
No Certification of such sorts.
(However, I am a Certified Architect under the Council of Architecture, India.)
6) My post-MBA goal:
My desired post-MBA role would be to work for a construction company as an Operation Manager where I will help in building lean and cost-efficient construction models for the firm.
Thanks for your help,
Abhimanyu
