Hi Alex,
Request you to review my profile.
I am an IT professional female, working with a top US based Investment Bank, located in Mumbai, India. Age : 29 years. Total work ex : 5+ years now.
My job involves software development and support activities, a lot of business user interaction, team work and efforts to keep the system up and running smoothly.
I hold a Masters degree in Computer Applications. % in the Masters program is 59.42%. Somewhere in top 30% of the class.
In last 5 years of working with corporates,I have developed a keen interest in how corporations actually work. In the recession time of 2008, also was the one who suffered a lay off and was back on my feet in around a month by grabbing my current role, which has been a major positive change in my career and mindset. Human part of a profession, like human interaction, human-machine interaction, the ability to bounce back from a critical situation and do better each time fascinate me a lot. Avid risk taker, something like leaving my small town for a bigger and better degree has paid off pretty well.
Extra curricular wise, very strong in school level. Held a position like a GS in my school. Won many debating,essay writing, elocution competition in school and college level. Also held a batch of around 25 ppl in my first job, got awarded as a excellent leader in that batch. Also awarded for excellent work in my current role.
Now this all background leaves me with one question, will a top US school is a catch for me ? Read that HBS might not be because of the age factor. But how about others.
My husband is based in Singapore. So I might want to look at INSEAD and NUS. But US B Schools provide a global perspective and exposure. Usually the school I would do MBA from is the demographic location I would get for my first job. Should i aim for Booth, Yale or equivalent ?
This all provided I score a descent 700+ in GMAT, which I am appearing in august.
Appreciate your help in review very much.
Regards,
Bhakti

Before you help to review my profile, have few questions in mind.
1) Does quitting job and preparing for GMAT hamper my profile ? This is because I have an option of relocating to Singapore and start my preparations and application process to BSchools.
2) Gaining 1 more year of work ex in Singapore ( in addition to 5+ with top i banks as software professional), will that add some extra points to my profile ?
Thanks Alex,
Bhakti

Don't quit your job to prepare for b-school applications and GMATs full-time -- that is foolish, and adcoms will think you're foolish for doing that when 99.9% of applicants are still working full-time. B-school applications do take a lot of work and time, but not to the point where you should stop your life to do it -- that doesn't show the adcom that you're committed to b-schools, it would instead tell them that you're desperate or foolish or both.
As for gaining 1 more year work experience in Singapore - it won't really make much difference either way at this point for the kinds of schools you're after (INSEAD, NUS). For schools in the US, look at those outside the top 16 such as Tepper, Texas, UNC, Georgetown, USC, Purdue, Indiana, Rochester, etc. as your sweet spots. Schools in the top 16 like Yale, Cornell, Duke, Michigan, Darden, etc. are going to be stretches.
