Hi,
I'd be grateful if consultants could help me in my profile evaluation.
Geography: India, Age: 27, Male
GMAT: 670 (Quant 49, VA 32) taken in 2012
Educational Qualifications - Did Comp Sc Engineering from MDU Rohtak University 70.2% (they do not report GPA separately); I have also completed two levels of the CFA Program.
Professional Experience -
After doing my engineering, I have had diverse stints in business research, consulting, equity research and entrepreneurship.
Initially, I worked as a business research analyst for one year at a business research and consulting company. Then as a senior analyst in another business research company for 1 year and 8 months.
After that, I worked as an equity analyst for an year till end of 2013. And since 2014, I have been working on my own start-up social enterprise.
The several changes in my professional career, stem from my constant yearning to learn more and more, and take up new challenges in my life. Also, I wanted to learn more about my mission in life, and I wanted to explore all the fields I could. Having worked through diverse roles, I now want to focus on entrepreneurship as a career goal. My goal in life is to use social entrepreneurship to solve various problems of the world (across geographies).
Extra curriculur - While I was in College, I was the volunteer coordinator for Delhi region of a global NGO. And had also started and led a social service club in college which conducted various activities.
Played guitar for college band, and now learning thai kickboxing (muay thai)
Could anyone suggest what are the target colleges within my reach and which ones are good for entrepreneurship (social as well as other). And should I raise my GMAT score to apply to top colleges?
Thanks,
Chirag

Hi Chirag
You present quite an interesting profile. Your GMAT is slightly on the lower side and our undergrad scores are okay. The CFA certifications are a plus and would compensate your scores to some extent.
Coming to your work experience, while writing your essays, you will have to give very good reasons for changing jobs. Its good that you did this to learn more and in your essays, you will have to discuss about how these diverse environments helped you grow overall, what you learnt and most importantly what you achieved. It is important that you talk about your contributions in these firms.
Leadership is one of the things that B-schools value highly and there are many things in your profile to show that such as starting up your own firm. Once again, here you need to discuss what you have accomplished in the year since you started 'the Buddha Solution'. also, as the volunteer coordinator for the NGO and as a leader for the social service club, talk about your contributions and how you led the coordinators and the service club to gain something.
With the existing profile you could apply to schools such as
IE Business school Spain
IMD Switzerland
ESADE Spain
CHUCK Business School, China
Warwick B-School, UK
Nanyang Business School, Singapore. (These are some of the top 30 B-schools in the world with an avg GMAT close to yours)
Best B-schools for entrepreneurship are Harvard and Stanford, followed by MIT Sloan, Wharton, Chicago Booth and UMich Ross
Check out this article for more information https://www.interviewbay.com/blog/top-20 ... reneurship
The average GMAT for these schools is quite high. So if entrepreneurship is the reason you want to pursue an MBA, I would suggest you to give the GMAT again. With a score of 720+, your chances to make it to these schools will improve to a great extent.
All the best

Dear Interviewbay22,
Thanks a lot for your valuable and insightful advice. One more question - with this profile and score, would HEC Paris be manageable?
Since I'd also be looking for some scholarship, would raising my GMAT score, make it more attractive for scholarship.? Is it necesarry?
Thanks,
Chirag
