I’d like to request an evaluation of my profile
Background: Indian American male.
Undergrad GPA: 3.57 (Mechanical Engineering, Cornell University)
Masters GPA: 3.76 (Mechanical Engineering, Cornell University)
Work Experience: 7 years (by time of application) as a design engineer at a top 3 aircraft engine manufacturer. I started one level above an entry-level role due to my masters, and have had one promotion. I’ve spent the majority of that time working on teams, collaborating with numerous partners inside and outside the company to design, validate and sustain engine components. In my current role as a design lead, I typically have ownership of component designs and technical oversight/mentorship of one to two people on any given project.
GMAT 720 (48Q, 41V, 5.5 AWA, 5 IR)
Volunteer Experience:
- 4 years on the board of an Employee Resource Group, 1 year as vice president. Conducted professional development, community service, and recruitment events, including co-leading a group to build picnic tables for a local school.
- President of the student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers chapter during my senior year in undergrad. I re-energized the chapter after a few years of minimal activity.
Reach Schools: MIT Sloan, Booth, Wharton, Tuck, Columbia, Yale
Target Schools: Ross, Tepper, Johnson
Goals: I’ve had the opportunity to develop my technical and analytical skills, and would like to transition to strategy and management. Preference for roles in aerospace or technology-oriented industries, but open to other opportunities.
Can you please comment on my chances at the schools I’ve identified? Do you have any recommendations for others to consider? As a separate question, what are my chances for scholarships at these schools?
