Hello Team
mbaMission, it would be very helpful if you could evaluate my profile and suggest which colleges to apply to.
·
Demographics : 25 Male, Indian
·
Education : Mechanical Engineering from a Tier 2 University, CGPA - 7.63/10
·
GMAT : 700 (Q48 V38 IR6), planning to take it again and increase it 720-740.
·
Work experience : 3.5 years ( 4.5 by Fall Intake 2024 ), I work in my dad's company as managing partner. It's a contract manufacturing company catering to OEMs. After I joined in 2020, we managed to clock in a revenue of 1.1m USD in the previous fiscal year from the pre-covid levels of 500-600k USD, I'm the contact point for our clients and have a very good relationship with our longest standing client(30 yrs). While I'm not the sole reason for the improvement in business, I can surely say I have helped in organizing the workflow and getting more orders from clients.
·
Extracurricular activities : Nothing intense or special, had been a part of the official photography club during my UG where we were assigned to record and photographs most of the cultural events.
·
Post-MBA goals: I intend to come back to the business soon after graduating, and concentrate more on taking the company to the next level.
·
Target schools: Not even sure which colleges I can get into considering my profile, I have been interested very much in the programs offered by Columbia (J- Term), INSEAD, Cornell 1 Year MBA, IESE, Cambridge, LBS. Honestly, I don't fancy my chances here, any good university is also fine.
My preference is 1 Year programs only.
·
Other information relevant to your profile: So the reason I want to do an MBA is that I thought earlier that a mechanical engineering degree was enough to take care of our business, while this is true, I felt it's not enough for me to scale the business to the next level. And also felt that an MBA would help me in the future.

Any specific questions you would like answered by our team: Any suggestions on which colleges to concentrate or any improvements to be made in my profile would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
