Hi!
I would appreciate if you good folks could provide your views on my profile.
Scored 68% aggregate in Mechanical Engineering (unofficially top 10 percentile in class)
GMAT: 690 (Q48, V38) IR 5 AWA 5.0 (Aug 2014, could try for a better score if it would help my case)
Boring:
Male, Indian, working in IT (at a Bank) & little to no extra curricular since college.
Interesting:
Good overseas experience working with commercial banks in: SE Asia, UK, Singapore & UAE.
Confusing:
I graduated in 2004. In my mid thirties now, I have 12 years of wonderful experience in Banking IT Systems.
My Story:
Studied in a great high school and did very well in academics and co-curricular activities. I ended up as the School Captain (Head Boy) in my high school year.
Unfortunately, my family fell on bad times. I ended my up in a mediocre University where I continued to do academically well. As I had to support my family after graduation I could not plan for a MBA.
I got a job with an IT services major in India. Worked for 8 years, implementing core banking systems in Europe and Asia. Moved to Singapore to work with a large bank in their IT division for about 2 years. I am currently working in UAE for the last 2 years with a large regional bank.
I was hand picked for the bank's Innovation Lab. I am managing delivery of projects involving new technologies. I am however, part of lower management. I am not positive of growing in my current organisation, due the culture of not promoting internally. I would eventually have to move in about a year or two.
I am financially stable now. I feel MBA at this stage of my career would help me jump into mid/upper management of banking IT. I am strongly thinking about doing a full time MBA at Insead, IMD, ISB or other suitable one year program.
I am looking forward for your advice, suggestions and comments.

Thank you for your profile details. What undergraduate school did you go to?
Since you come from a competitive pool of applicants, the 690 is going to hurt you a bit at INSEAD and ISB though not as much at IMD. I do recommend retaking it if you think you can add 20-30+ points to your score. A more competitive academic background will help since your extra-curriculars are lacking and IT puts you in a common bucket.
I recommend you take a look at Cornell Johnson, Oxford Said and Cambridge Judge as well.

Hi there,
As I was reading your profile, I was thinking that you might want to apply to INSEAD and I see that it is indeed your target school
Why I said INSEAD is based on the kind of personal experiences and international perspectives that you have obtained. I feel you can leverage them in the application essays.
Unless you really want to work in the US, I would not recommend those programs for you profile. But you could also look at other good programs in EU such as HEC, IESE and also UK- Cambridge, Manchester, Warwick and so on..
We have worked with several Indian students for INSEAD and other top MBA programs.
In case you are looking for help, we can guide you. Please email me at [email protected]
Good luck!
