Hello,
Please evaluate my profile and let me know if my school choices are appropriate for my profile.
I am 27 years old, Indian, working in India in Energy and Utilities sector.
BS, Electrical Engineering, Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Gujarat, India, GPA: 3.6/4
MS, Power and Energy Systems Arizona State University, GPA: 3.53/4
Applying for: Fall 2015, (Jan 2016 for INSEAD)
GMAT: 720 (Q 48 V 40 IR 4 AWA 5)
Industry - Energy and Utilities
Total workex – 2.5 years in US, 1 yr in India; all in energy and utilities domain
Work experience:
India: 6 months - in a startup as a Concept Developer.
US: 2 years as Power Systems Engineer in a medium sized private company
India: Moved to Indian office of the same company, a little change in role inclining towards management
International Exposure: Worked for 2.5 years in US, now working in India and will have worked on a project in Sharjah within the next 6-10 months
Extra Curricular activities:
- Martial Arts: 2 years training in Capoeira (Afro-Brazilian Martial Art), involved in community activities for raising awareness and demonstration of the art in schools and other locations
- Volunteer at American Red Cross
- Trained for 6 years in Tabla (Classical Indian percussion instrument)
- Played Tabla in a band for an audience of around 3-4k. There is a festival in India called Navratri where a lot of people gather and dance offering prayers - hence the high number of audience.
- Arranged many college level events during BS
- Participated in numerous national level events
Inclined towards Energy sector because of my familiarity and work-ex but also open to get into Finance/General Management post MBA
Schools/Areas of interest:
UTA McCombs: Energy and utilities
Rice, Jones: Energy and utilities
INSEAD: General management/Finance. I believe I have an international outlook and experience that could possibly get me into this.
LBS: General Management/Finance. I like their 15-21 month flexible programme
Judge and Said: General Management, Reputation and 1 year programs.
Stern: Finance. Wallstreet
UCLA: Program in Renewable Energy
Carlson, Minnesota: Keeping this as a safe option. Also, I have lived in Minneapolis for 2.5 years hence it is a familiar location.
ISB, Hyderabad: Reputed 1 yr program and close to home.
Although, I have included US schools, my preference would be towards European schools due to the opportunity costs.
Thanks,
Ajinkya

[quote="Ajinkya87"]Hello,
Hi Ajinkya,
There are lots of MBA programs with specialization in energy and cleantech - Haas, Columbia, Duke, Ross, Texas A&M and HEC (Paris). These are in addition to the programs that you have mentioned - McCombs, Rice, LBS and UCLA. Apply to 5-7 b-schools. Your career goals are too broad right now- you will have to narrow down your choices to one industry, with some linkage to the work that you have already done in the past few years. A lot more thinking is required on this front, and your career choice will also be instrumental in selecting those b-schools that enable you to achieve your professional objectives.
I am a little unclear about your work experience- is it 2.5 years or 3.5 years? Also do shed some more light on your career goals.

Hi Ajinkya,
Congrats on doing a good job so far.
Stating career goals properly is key. I think you have a good shot at some of these schools. Some might be a stretch. (say, LBS)
Regards,
Karthik
