Hi everyone!
I'm a 2015 BITS Pilani (India) graduate (integrated dual degree Computer Science engineering and M.Sc in Economics) with a cgpa of 8.9/10. I have a 760 in GMAT and an admit from ISB for the class of 2019 through their Early Entry Option.
As of present, I have work ex of 1 year at a bulge bracket investment bank in the risk analytics division. (I did a one year long internship there as well but that was in the final year of college so it doesn't count as professional work ex)
I have pretty solid academics and I did a summer internship related to CSR in 2012.
I'm just wondering if I can apply at this stage to any of the top business schools outside India and what my options are, given my profile. I'd like to make a functional switch to a marketing or strategy role after my MBA. Most schools seem to have a requirement of 2-3 years work ex, and I've already missed the HBS 2+2 and Stanford GSB deferred programs so I'm stuck in the middle! I'm not too keen on MiM because the job market seems quite bleak in Europe at the moment (I know this is true for finance atleast, not sure abut marketing?). I could also use this time to make my profile more competitive in the required areas, so any guidance would be appreciated!
