Hi Stacy,
I'm 26/M from IIT and have worked in wide varied industry - insurance, Retail, Pharma and Banking - all these experiences are with small management consulting firm doing Analytics except the banking experience is with Capital 1 doing card marketing.
GPA 7.2/10.
Total 4yrs - 2yrs in India and 2yrs in USA
GMAT score of 720.
I do not have any leadership experience as such except that I was Cricket captain in 2000 - I do not have any proof of this. I represented my hall in Chess tournament.
I worked with 2 NGOs for upliftment of community through education in India. These small NGOs are not well recognized and I'm not quite sure how helpful such steps will be - Some of steps taken by me helped these 1 NGO in establishing itself and I'm founding member for the other NGO - I did not do any of these for schools so I do not have any proof but can get it.
My target schools for September application are MIT, NYU, Cornell, Haas and LBS, INSEAD - mostly targeting schools that help number ppl or ppl with mgmt consulting experience or IIT-engineering.
I'd like to know your opinion on
1. How I should be presenting my profile
2. Does my experience with small NGOs help?
3. How should I present my experience with small management company's knowing that some of my competitors will be coming from better mgmt company's?
4. How much does my experience with Capital1 helps my case.
5. Also, because I have the opportunity to take MAanger job with another company - I was wondering how much that would help my case for next yr?
Lots of questions but lots of appreciation too

Hi SyedSan,
With regards to how you should present your candidacy, remember that admissions teams are looking to cultivate future leadership, so your leadership experience and responsibilities are important.
What matters most with the NGO is what you actually did. How did you make an impact on the organization? How did you develop as a person? These are the questions an admissions team will be looking for the answers to.
Regarding your remaining questions, as I mentioned above what is more important than the organization you worked for is how you discuss your experiences in your application. Every year top admissions teams accept candidates from larger and smaller firms.
Best,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
