Hi!
I work as a maintenance engineer and have a work ex of 3.5 years in a chemical company in Mumbai, India. I am planning to apply to b schools this year and have scored 730 on the test that I took in August '14. The specialization I am interested in is operations management. I want to know about certification courses that will strengthen my profile and make me a stronger contender for an MBA in OM. Can you please suggest some certifications that I can go for? I would prefer online certification programs but classroom programs are OK too.
Thanks!!

Hi dp26389,
I apologize for the delayed response as we were slightly bombarded the past few months and things are now settling down a bit.
Thanks for your patience and your message. I reviewed your profile similar to other candidates' profiles when I worked as part of a top tier program's admissions committee.
In my years of experience, I believe that your GMAT score falls well within the competitive range for US and European programs in the top 10. My slight concern is your GPA, as it may/may not be balanced by your GMAT score. To strengthen this academic aspect in your candidacy, I request that you enroll in online extension courses (versus an operations certification program) and completing them flawlessly across courses that will further help you in your business school education. With a potential 730 GMAT, this will help balance any academic gaps in your applications. The certification course will not give you the same competitiveness as the online extension courses and are offered by several top tier programs.
After completing these courses successfully, I would ask that you then look into top programs such as Stern, Ross, Fuqua, Kellogg, and Booth, in addition to other top 10-15 programs. Please keep in mind that for the schools mentioned above, it will be imperative that you effectively communicate your personal and professional background, along with your aspirations for business school. Make sure that the other aspects to your applications are produced with unwavering quality. I have read many online posts from candidates with similar backgrounds who were rejected from their dream schools, not due to a gap in their background but due to an inability to effectively share their background and aspirations for an MBA.
Regardless of the opinions you receive from forums, please apply to the programs which attract you the most and do not underestimate the professional and academic background that you possess. The worst thing that you can do as a candidate is underestimate your background. I feel that this is worse than receiving a rejection from any program. The best thing you can do is take your "best foot forward" and leave the decision to the schools. Please do not "opt-out" of your dream schools because you think you may not stand a chance.
I hope this helps you. If you would like to further speak directly with our consultants who are former admissions committee members or our recent admits at any point, please visit https://macapproved.com/free-evaluation/
Best wishes,
Sue and the MAC Team
