Hey,

Your profile is fine. Don't worry about the fancy names in resume

. You should focus on acing GMAT for now.

All the best

Arpit,
IIMA PGPX

Sid2011

I am actually willing to apply for IIMA PGPX, IIMC MBAEx, IIMB EPGP, IIML IPMX and IIMI EPGP in 2022
Age- 28
10th - 90
12th -78
Bachelors of Commerce- a not so well known college affiliated to Osmania University- 79%
Professional Qualification- CMA
Work experience: over 5 years(No International experience- I know this will be a disadvantage for me)
1.Big 4(Accounting Team)- 2 years 4 months
2.In an Asset management company which is not in the bulge bracket(more of a custodian bank)- 1 year 8 months(accounting team)
3. A bulge bracket investment banking company - 1 year 6 months and still counting as I work here currently(accounting team)
More details on work experience:
- In my first company, I used to work in the accounting team that used to give backend accounting support to the consultants/advisors who are at different locations.
- In my second and third(current) company I work on the accounting side of Hedge Fund and Private Equity Investments. We work closely with the client facing teams in the US and co-ordinate with other teams in Prime Brokerage, Analytics, Valuation etc.
GMAT: I am planning to take it by the end of this year/January 2022, I am planning to apply in the next year.
Reason to do an executive MBA: During my stint at my last 2 companies, I discovered that there are lot of teams in my industry(you can call it BFSI/Investment Management) which actually do more exciting stuff and handle things at a higher level. A degree in Management will definitely help me become a better candidate to get into one of those roles.
Target Industry: BFSI, Consulting
Extra-curricular and Co-curricular: My biggest worry, I have nothing. I am trying to find out as much as I can and hopefully I'll at least have one by the end of this year.
I am confining myself to colleges in India as a lot of colleges abroad reject applicants with a three year degree.
I know it is too ambitious for me to aim for A, B and C as I don't have flashy things on my resume like international work ex, a brand name like IIT/NIT/SRCC and exceptional achievements. So, I am more keen on IIML and IIMI. I would really appreciate if someone shares a very realistic evaluation.
Also, what should be my target GMAT score?

Hi Abhisek,

Profile wise, I think you are good to go. A high GMAT score will be necessary to stand out amongst other IT engineers. Also, focus on your story, essays & SOP and your application. It is important that you develop a strong storyline that connects your two, very diverse job profiles and highlights your clarity on why you need an MBA now.
It will be important for you to stand out from competition and hence a stellar application and essays should be your focus area.

Regards,
Tridisha

Hi Sachin,

Strong and diverse profile with a good GMAT score. You are already on a good start, but you would need to develop a strong, coherent story that does justice to your work experience and profile.
Explaining why you need a second MBA and an in-depth analysis of your goals should also be on your cards. In short, I see good chances if you can create an impactful application and essays/SOP.

Regards,
Tridisha

Hello sachinnarula

The profile is quite decent- diverse work experience will help a lot.
Combined with your GMAT score, shows no evident weakness for IIMs especially.
Career goals seems organic too.
As long as you present your past (experience), present (why you feel the need of an MBA now) and future (short term and long term post MBA goals) well, you have a decent shot.

Hello Abhisek1m

While the IR experience will give you brownie points on diversity, schools will be interested to know why do you want to make a jump 1 year into it and not wait for some more time having gained more ex.
Other than that, the expected GMAT score it key to figuring out where you stand, have you taken any mock tests to estimate a target score?
Moving on to career goals, will need to be more specific than that. Career jump into what? What sort of roles/companies are you targeting and also talk about your motivation to target said roles/companies.

You may want to read here on what factors work in a profile and here to add to your research on career goals.

Hi Siva,

Your profile is strong and making a move from sales and service to MBA is a good move. Your GMAT score is quite low. I have seen applicants get in with 640+ scores into IIMs A, B, and C. Last year someone got into IIM B at 630 GMAT score.
However, a lot will depend on how you compensate for your low GMAT score; is your profile very diverse, is there something that can help you set yourself apart? Think through these points before you apply.

Regards,
Tridisha

Hey Siva

In addition to what has already been said about the GMAT, you need to work on your post MBA goal. Currently it is a very high level statement. You GMAT will decide if you get an interview call, however the sop will have huge impact on the direction the interview will take.

Hope this helps

All the best!

Arpit,

Hi Sivakumar01,

Thanks for sharing your profile.
Since you have 11 yeas of experience with a GMAT score is 620 and you want to transition into supply chain management roles, then IIMU SCM one year MBA will be the best place for you. You can also target IIML, IIMI and IIMK.

These colleges provide good placements and if you don't want to spend more time on GMAT improvement, then you should start preparing for these colleges.

Hope it helped.

Hey

Here is my opinion
1. Education is fine
2. Work ex is ok
3. GMAT is on the lower edge

You will have to focus on the essays and interview prep.

You have a fighting chance for the interview shortlisting for sure. After that as I told it will all boil down to essays and interview.
