Hi Stacy,
I wish to apply to B-schools in R1-R2 2011-12. I am basically into analytics field. Its the stepping stone to the consulting domain. Therefore I am thinking of applying in consulting only (I have very little to substantiate in the field of finance for which I had done lot of courses in my undergraduate but nothing after passing out).
Here's a summary of my profile. Would be grateful to receive your suggestions.
Name: Abhishek
Nationality: Indian
Age: 25
GMAT: 720 (50(92%) in QA, 38(83%) in VA)... AWA-5.5)
Undergraduate: Did my Integrated Masters in Physics from premier institute in India - Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP)
--> CGPA: 7.95/10
--> Did internship in Paris, France in Statistical domain
Work Experience: 2+ (overall)-->
1 year - Mu Sigma Pvt. Corporation Ltd. - Role-Business Analyst: I worked on different statistical analysis tools for a Multinational Corp. in marketing analytics domain. Managed key projects, developed communication skills and effective client relationships.
1 year + 2 months (present) - HSBC Bank - Role- Analyst: I worked in the Risk analytics domain for US Credit Cards business. Different and challenging domain (compared to marketing analytics), lots of complexities and increased responsibilities. Managed strategic projects and furthered my analytical skills.
Extra curriculars: Represented my college for Inter IIT Sports Meet in Basketball and Athletics. Won Bronze in Basketball at that Inter IIT Meet. Received special recognition from the Institute owing to the the contribution.
Apart from this have won sports awards in intra IIT events and in Company. Not substantial NGO or Social work experience (read which can be produced in certificates). Do I need to have the said work-ex definitely?
AIM:
To gain the management tools and larger exposure required for a career in consulting domain.
6-7 years down the line having gained sufficient business knowledge and honed my management skills, I plan to explore entrepreneurial opportunities.
Are my goals properly linked with my current work experience?
I wish to apply in R1-R2 of US Bschools. In which B-schools do I stand better chance? Should I consider Bschools in other subcontinents too? I was a bit inclined towards Europe but I heard the schools there require a lot of work experience.
Your suggestions/feedback will be lot valuable.
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
Can you talk more about the characteristics of the business schools you are interested in? Consulting is a large field, so it is difficult to recommend MBA programs on the information you have written.
As an example, is there a particular location you are interested in? (If you are interested in technology, I would recommend California, etc.). The location where you attend the program is going to have a large impact on your experience and opportunities post-graduation.
MBA programs in Europe differ in many ways, most notably because the programs are 1 year long. Traditional MBA programs in the US are 2 years long, and the summer internships provide great opportunities to transition into new careers.
Hope this was of help.
Cheers,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

Hi Stacy,
Thanks for your reply. I am currently doing business consulting in banking domain. I haven't given much thought about pursuing consulting in any specific domain but for now I would wish to continue in this domain only or probably shift to consulting for FMCG (utilizing supply chain management techniques and all).
Considering this, would it be still good to look in and around California ? Or do you suggest any other places/schools to look for?
How is INSEAD in consulting domain? I know its a 1-year programme but will it help me gain good experience? or open up newer and exciting ventures ? I was also giving some thoughts about NUS, Singapore and IESE in Spain ? Would be grateful to receive your views.
Thanks
