Hi team,
Can you please review my profile?
Nationality : Indian
Grad School: NIT Rourkela, 7.9/10
GMAT: 710 (Q50,V34,IR6)
Work-ex: 5 years (till now)
I am working as an Assistant Manager(Process) for a top-automobile OEM based out of India.
Export Operations:
1. Worked towards increasing the loading capacity of our export containers to 10+ countries that resulted in significant cost benefits.
2. Increased the packing efficiency of our export boxes resulting in better space utilization.
3. Standardized packing materials for export to 50+ countries.
4. Few other project that resulted in significant cost benefits and in streamlining the process of packing to avoid customer complaints.
Vehicle and Engine Assembly:
1. Benchmarking of assembly activities to standardize assembly process across all the 3 manufacturing plants.
2. Increased the packing efficiency of crates used for assembly parts thereby reducing the in plant and vendor handling by a significant percentage, resulting in cost saving, lesser trips, reduced manpower.
3. Did quite a few projects to streamline the assembly process, by bringing in new technologies which were first time for my company and few were first time in india.
4. Also initiated cost reduction activity for our products which resulted in cost savings for our products.
5. Worked in cross functional teams from Japan and European countries, where I led my team to successfully launch products in their market.
Digital Manufacturing:
1. Took initiative to set up this department in my company under my current role so as to virtually validate assembly process, equipment and fixtures required for manufacturing and assembly, reducing the cycle time for validation of product and cost associated with it.
2. Virtual planning of assembly process for new models, variation and tolerance analysis, time calculaton for assembly (all done in a virtual world).
I don’t have any work-ex outside India, though I have regularly worked with teams from different countries.
There are few other important works that I have done like I was given additional responsibility during my first two years to mentor new joinees in our department.
NGO Experience:
I have worked for a NGO related to education for under-privileged families. Since 4.5 years, I have been mentoring, coaching, and at times raising funds for their education.
Extra-curriculars:
Have managed fest in college, founded quizzing club, was part of publicity team.
I am interested in Operations Management.
Target schools : MIT Sloan, Kellogs, Ross & Tepper.
Are these schools over ambitious for me ?
What other schools may I have a good chance with ? And what else would I need to convert my target schools?
Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi Saintonwheels,
You have a nice profile - infact we have come across quite a few applicants with similar profile as yours this year.
You have selected great schools for operations. However, I am afraid you GMAT score is going to be below par (for Indians specially) at all of these schools. You can either retake the GMAT or apply to programs where your scores are more competitive. These would be at the school ranked 15 and beyond (BW rankings)
To convert any school, you will need great applications, followed by an equally great interview

A few more perspectives here Thesaintonwheels:
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
- While your overall work profile looks impressive, the relative quantification and differentiation of it is not clear. Would anyone in this profile do this work? If not, what's different in terms of what you have done. Think along those lines to add some more richness to your articulation.
- For reasons mentioned here, we do not speculate on school selection. But I would agree that the GMAT, together with a less than stellar GPA can make for an overall average/weak academic arc. Given your aggressive targets, not ideal right?
- It will also be important to understand your post-MBA plans. Auto sector while great in terms of experience, can be a bit tough to fit into feasible post-MBA plans. So make sure you've done your research and assessment well.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
