Hi,
Wanted to take your opinion on my profile and what colleges I can apply to.
I am a B.E. Economics graduated of University of Delhi, and have a total work experience of ~5.5 years as of now.
I have worked at McKinsey & Company as a financial research analyst for 2 years out of college (2008-10), 1 year with JPM Investment Banking and now 2.5 years with a private equity fund.
In extra-curricular, I was a part was a part time theater artist and b/w my experience with McKinsey & JPM I took a break and did professional theater and appeared on Television for 2 episodes as a tv artist. I had set up an NGO back in 2009 which works for education empowerment for underprivileged kids and it is now taken over by a government of India registered enterprise with whom I work on and off given that it is on an auto mode.
I wanted to initially apply to Wharton and NYU Stern but those may be a stretch now given my score in not good at all. My long term aspiration is to open my own public market PE fund down the line in the next decade. I am a bit disappointed with my score and not sure which way to go. I am open to US and Asian business schools but don’t think $100,000 to $150,000 will be well spent if I take up an MBA in a mid-tier school.
Class x – 85%
Class 12-91.2%
Undergrad – 57% with a distinction in final year (67% in final year)
Would be great to have your inputs and suggestions. Please help.
Regards,
