Hi,
I need help in next step of my pre-MBA journey. I just gave GMAT and need to know the strengths of my profile.
Background information:
Origin : Indian Male (23.5 year old)
Under graduate: B.Tech in "Physical Sciences" (combination of "applied physics", "remote sensing", and "geology") from Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology(IIST). Entire college fee was paid by Department of Space as a result of good academic performance.
UG GPA: 8.2 (on the scale of 10).
Job profile: 2-years(August,2017-present) as Scientist/Engineer at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). My division, the only one of its kind, develops applications for different clients, which include many government organisations, different ministries, and Defence agencies. I am also part of technology development programme (TDP) for Deep learning applications.
GMAT : 730 (Q51 , V38, IR6, AWA 5). I prepared only for 10 days (week for verbal, 2 days for Quant, 1 day for AWA and IR). I did OG and Manhattan SC for sentence correction, which was my weak point.
Extra curricular:(1) During UG I was part of "Nirmaan" initiative, which focused on teaching and development of tribal children in the area around my college. As part of Eco-club activities, regularly (once a month) picked plastic waste from nearby beach. Currently involved with a nearby ashram to provide my services for children development programs. I am also part of cricket team of my division.
Special Mention: I have been selected for 39th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica (ISEA). So, I will be stationed at Antarctica for 13 months (starting from November,2019 to December,2020) for research and management purposes.
Target Schools : Considering India's application pool, I am not very optimistic about M7. So, I am considering Ross, Fuqua, Yale, Haas, Anderson, Tuck, Johnson, McCombs and Stern.
Post MBA: mainly Finance or Consulting.
Specific Questions:
(1) Should I retake the GMAT and target 750+ ?
(2) If I apply with 730, what are my chances for above mentioned schools with scholarship ? (difficult, maybe , and achievable)
(3) I am planning to apply in R1 (August,2020). Will it affect my application if I am not able to attend different activities planned by B-schools in India? (Because I will be stationed at Antarctica.)
(4) Will my short work experience be a negative in my application? (I will have close to 4 years of experience by June,2021.)
