Demographics: 24, Indonesian, Asian Woman
Undergraduate: Majoring in Management with minor in HR Management at one of the top 10 universities in Indonesia. Previously led in several roles in organizations during my time in my university.
Other Educational Qualifications: Currently got mini MBA course from INSEAD (provided by my office as a part of learning & development program).
I also was part of a three person team that won a global Case Study Competition against 33 countries handled by a global leading FMCG company. I win the 1st place for both the local round and the global round of the competition.
GMAT: haven't taken it yet, planning to take it early next year as I'm thinking on applying next year. Prediction test result: 700
Work Experience/Internship:
I currently work for a global leading FMCG company in Indonesia (also globally). I have been rotated across multiple role in Brand Marketing & Sales team with global exposure on my short rotation in Singapore. I am now in a marketing role.
Notable Extracurricular Activities:
- While working, I'm also building my social business & community, with a cause for education in rural area in Indonesia.
- I am also actively involved in pro-bono mentoring to help university students learn about opportunities in the professional world.
- My love for education has brought me to volunteered in teaching English in rural area of Thailand back in my university year & I spend my free time to teach children who cannot afford education nearby my house since 2015.
Post MBA Goals: I would like to do strengthen my social business. I notice that I am lacking in so many ways in building the business & I see how Indonesia actually has so many potential for social business. I'd like to get involved in the development of social business in Indonesia thus I would like to pursue MBA.
Target Schools: I'm aiming for the USA because I'm about to apply for local scholarship provided by Indonesia's government which mostly only covers USA universities.
So far my lists are:
1. Columbia
2. Harvard
3. NYU
4. Yale
But I'm open for any input which may be more aligned with my dream to make social business big.
Other information: I notice that mostly people who take MBA has around 5 years of experiences while I only have 3 years of working experiences
Questions:
Do I have a chance at any of these schools or any school that suits my goal well? If not is there anything I can do to improve my chances.
Thanks!

Your chances are good based on your profile, if you hit your target score. You need to ace the quant.

Hi, and thanks for writing. 3 years of work experience isn't prohibitive if you've had good progression and impact in your roles so far. To maximize your chances, I would focus on the GMAT and on refining your short and long-term career goals. You mention "social business" but you'll want to be specific about what type of role you want in the short term, what you hope to do in the long term, and how the MBA programs you're targeting will help you achieve this path. I'm glad to see that you're involved in the community, so keep making an impact in your mentorship/volunteering work. Hope that helps for now - best of luck!
