Profile Review: M27 GMAT FE 645 (Target Selection)
Hi guys, I’m a 27M (Indian) and recently took the GMAT FE with a 645 (90th percentile).
I’m extremely confused which school should be on my list of Reach, Target, Safety
Profile:-
Academics:
Bsc. Finance (NMIMS) CGPA 3.24/4
CFA charter holder
GMAT FE 645 (90th percentile)
Work ex:
2 years in Credit research (promoted from Consultant to Associate in 6 months)
6months as Portfolio Analyst with a wealth management firm (had to quit early to focus on CFA L3)
2 years as Research Analyst in Private Credit Valuation (client is a massive AMC in NY)
Extracurricular:
House Captain in school
Member in college fest committee
Few years of volunteering experience with NGOs (mostly teaching)
Why MBA:
I wanna hone my leadership skills to be a better fit for more challenging roles. I’m quite sure I wanna work in a deal team in the buy side of a Private credit fund or something around that.
I’ve been reaching out to current students and alums in T20 (I know M7 is out of reach) and been getting mixed reviews about my profile. Biggest roadblock seems like GMAT score and ORM pool.
Can someone please suggest finance focused schools for dream, target, safety? (About 8)
Current mix:
Dream- NYU, Duke, Ross, Cornell, Darden
Target- McCombs, Georgetown, USC, UNC
Safety- Emory, Rice, Fordham, Boston U
