Hi vra123,
Thanks for sharing your profile.
Please find below my comments :
GMAT : On the right side of the Bell curve and hence superior than most of the applicants. Definite advantage.
Academics : Average ; which Indian B school have you done your MBA from
Work Experience : Competitive and can be portrayed as unique ; however, there is a disconnect as to why you want to start a FinTech firm when you have NO tangible experience of finance.
Goals : Entrepreneurship is definitely a realistic goal , however, what is hard to believe is that you do you want to do a 2nd MBA when you already have an idea and execution road map, why don't you start it from today itself and make a MBA graduate as a co founder.
Choice of schools : provided you are able to clearly communicate your passion for entrepreneurship, NYU Stern, Columbia, ould MIT, LBS and INSEAD should be your target schools.
I am an ISB alum from CO14 and an independent admission consultant. Please feel free to reach out to me at +91-9701215544/ Skype : arijit_biswas89 for further queries.
Thanks
