Hello,
I need your help to know about my profile, and what should I do to make it better. What schools should I aim for. I'm applying only in 2017 so I have 1 year time.
Post MBA I want to work in Technology/Consulting or Finance. I realise that's not a clear answer. But I'm working on it. Its a surprisingly hard question.
Maybe in the future start my own company, though I'm not really sure. I'm still figuring out.

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your information with us. Since you'll be applying next year, I'd recommend giving the GMAT another try (especially if you've only taken it once). This could open up a new set of schools for you to target next year. You have time on your side - let's make the most of it! What can you do at work to boost your leadership opportunities? What new skill sets can you acquire? Can you push for a promotion between now and September 2017? Your involvement looks decent. I'd continue to focus on finding ways to make an impact. Loose associations to things aren't going to cut it - find ways to lead and make a difference. Above all else (and I know you now this), I'd seek to refine your goals. Find a job role that you're passionate about, and we can work on drawing a clear line of sight from where you are next year to how you plan to get your job post graduation from your dream MBA program. When the time is right next year, we'd love to chat to see how we can help. Best of luck on preparations over the next few months.
