I am hoping you can evaluate my profile as I am applying to the following Business Schools this year: Columbia (ED - Re-applicant -done) NYU (R1 - done) Cornell (Nov) Duke (R2) Kellogg (R2) Emory (R2) and potentially Darden, Haas, and Tepper. I am an Indian Female, Age 26
My long term goal is to become a CSR leader in India
My short term goal is to go into Impact consulting
My stats:
GMAT: 710 (Q48,V39) (I tried to pull this up but did not succeed
)
GPA: NYU (Economics w/ minor in Business) - 3.772 (cum Laude - Highest Honors - Founder's day award + merit-based scholarship)
Work Experience - very fragmented as I did not get the H1B visa and then due to health issues and downsizing, I had to return to India last year.
Big 4 advisory in NYC - 1 year (had to leave as I did not have my H1B)
Start-up Head of Customer Success in NYC - 4 months (while taking full-time graduate courses in Finance to maintain a student visa)
Brand consultant at a Big Data SaaS Brand consulting firm in NYC - 13 months (while taking full-time graduate courses in Finance to maintain a student visa)
Had an employment gap of a year where I was sick and then conducted full-time volunteer work, opening a skills development centre for underprivileged women. This made me realize my passion for social impact and the untapped potential of CSR in India.
Joined policy advisory firm in Bangalore, consulting for state- governments and multi lateral agencies like the UN on governance issues - got promoted in 4 months - presently working here
Total work ex upon enrolling - ~4 years
Leadership experience
Head of customer success team at tech start up
Leading a team of researchers at current job
Founded organizational committee to improve research quality standards and promote innovation and current job
Other volunteer work
Been volunteering on weekends at a food drive in Bangalore since 2011 - even helped them reorganize their capital structure for financial sustainability
Been volunteering on short term initiatives at organizations like the Malala fund
College extra curricular
Vice President at AIESEC
Academic learning assistant at NYU (official college tutor) - part-time paid job
Questions: I am very nervous about my work experience and I just feel like adcoms is going to roll their eyes at my lack of consistent work experience. I have tried to explain the visa issue, health issue etc. in optional essays. But is it enough? I pushed for Kellogg because I have faith in my interview skills and I am hoping the ability to interview with my application might help advance my otherwise below-par application
Also, am I part of the Indian applicant pool bias given my non-traditional background and the fact that I did my undergrad in America?
Looking forward to hearing all your thoughts and any advice for what to play up/play down in my apps.
Thank you so much. I can't explain how helpful hearing from an expert is during an anxiety-ridden time like this
