Hello
Hi Fragrance- thanks for reaching out. My comments on your profile are listed below:
I would sincerely appreciate it if you could take a look at my profile and provide some advice.
I am an Indian female, currently working in the US.I am assuming you are a citizen of India- which makes the path a little more competitive
Academic Background:
GMAT: 640 (Q43 V35 IR4)
Masters: MS in Management Information Systems
School: University at Buffalo, NY
GPA: 3.78/ 4.0
Bachelors: B.Tech (Electronics and Comm Engineering)
School: Himachal Pradesh University, India
Work Experience: 6.5 yrs
Certifications:
Post-MBA goals:
Short-Term: Operations Management role in the Hospitality/ Food services industry
Long-Term: Design my own startup in the food services sector.
Target Schools: UC-Berkeley(Haas), UCLA
I know my GMAT score is avg, and the absence of extra-curricular is bad too. UC Berkeley is my 1st preference. If my current profile isn't good enough for that, and I need to re-take the GMAT, how much improvement should I aim for? Anything else I can improve on?With one of the lowest acceptance rates- Haas is a tough school to get into. So a GMAT improvement to get in 720+ range would help. I would also look at some schools like Cornell, Michigan State, UNLV, Va Tech and also Univ. of Central Florida. All these programs are excellent in hospitality and this article may also help you choose some excellent options for your goals: https://www.thebestschools.org/rankings/ ... -programs/
Also, are there any top US B-Schools that are known for specializations towards the hospitality industry (like HEC Paris)?
Thanks for going through the long post!
