Nationality / Age: Indian /26
GMAT/GRE Score: Would be appearing in July End..... aiming for 720+
GPA / Work experience: 8.41/10 (Undergrad), 8.44/10 (Post Graduate Diploma in Banking and Finance), 10th - 87% (Gold Medalist), 12th 78% / 15 Months as Technical Support in US based MNC and 36 Months as Credit Manager (1 Promotion) in Public Sector Bank with 4 people reporting to me.

In my work-ex, I'm basically heading a department of almost 70 Crore now. It includes public dealing, NPA Management, Credit Assessment of Firms and Individuals, Inspection of Asset and their classification, Credit Monitoring etc

Educational Background: Electrical Engineer
Post-MBA goals: Investment Banking
Schools you are applying to: Not yet finalized but would be applying only if I get 720 or more to below schools - Simon, Jones, McDonough, Kelley & Kenan-Flagler

What other schools are in my hitting range with scholarship?

I'd be certainly gunning for Scholarship 😅

Profile Evaluation would be highly appreciated 😊

Hello Abhinay66,

Thanks for the details.

Your leadership experience sounds impressive; however, at this point of time, you must only focus on getting your GMAT through with as a high a score as you can garner; take your GMAT in time for you to complete your applications for Round 1 as drafting the essays will require both time and thinking.

A target of 720+ seems fine; needless to say, a higher score will boost your chances considering you are also looking for scholarships. With a 750 and above, you could even target some of the top 15 programs.

Good luck!

Hello Abhinay66,

A 720+ GMAT should position you well for your current target school list.

As an Indian engineer, you come from a competitive applicant pool. To gain both admission and scholarship, you will want to tell a solid story about how you will add unique value on campus.

Personal MBA Coach is known for helping applicants stand out via our comprehensive services. With our unlimited essay editing, we can help you fine-tune and perfect your story.

You will also want to excel in as many areas as possible. While this may seem obvious, Personal MBA Coach often sees candidates who have a decent GMAT/GRE score but have not put in the extra effort to maximize it. Similarly, we see candidates who do not want to dedicate time outside of the office to beef up their extracurricular profiles.

While we always advise that candidates put their best foot forward, this is even more crucial for those looking for a scholarship. Scholarship recipients most often excel in multiple areas.

Feel free to send a note to scott@personalmbacoach.com to further discuss your candidacy. We regularly help Indian applicants gain admission at top business schools and would be happy to provide guidance here!

Best,
Personal MBA Coach
