Hi! I'd truly appreciate it if you could provide me with a profile evaluation. I'm an Indian with a non-technical background and only international work experience as of yet.
Target Schools:
- Columbia (dream school)
- Stern (realistic?)
- Insead (Jan 09 Session) (realistic?)
- Georgetown (backup school)
Education
Economics undergrad from a small liberal art school in the US; Undergrad GPA 3.43
GMAT: 730 (96%tile)
Work Experience:
6 months as a Project Planner with a leading credit card company to start out with. Then 3 years with a top US Management/IT Consulting firm as a Management/Sr. Management Analyst (in a non-technical role). All in the US.
Current situation:
I quit my job about 10 days ago as I had to move back to India due to family reasons. I will be applying and hopefully, starting work here within the next month.
Leadership/Community involvement:
I have had some good leadership opportunities (in the course of my professional exp.) that I can elaborate upon. My community involvement has been severely limited at best.
Some other characteristics:
Speak two languages and have working knowledge of a third. Play multiple musical instruments; formed a band in college and performed several stage shows.
Brief objective:
I am looking to make a career switch from consulting to finance (private equity/VC/hedge fund/banking). I am looking to expand my existing knowledge with an MBA and use this degree as a launchpad for a new career.
Some specific questions:
- What is your assessment of my candidacy?
- Keeping in mind that I've already missed R1 and R2 deadlines and that R3 and R4 (where allowed) are much more competitive, I am debating whether applying for 09 sessions will make better sense than applying for 08 session. What do you suggest?
Target Schools:
- Columbia (dream school)
- Stern (realistic?)
- Insead (Jan 09 Session) (realistic?)
- Georgetown (backup school)

I think your target schools are realistic, although if you want to go into finance, also consider Rochester and Cornell.
I think you already know this, but your lack of extracurricular involvement is an obvious weakness. Definitely emphasize your leadership experiences at work. Outside of work, you still have time to get involved (maybe you can find some good opportunities in India) before you apply.
I would definitely plan on applying next year. You've already "missed the boat" this year, for the most part. Take another 8-10 months to get more extracurricular experience, and then apply!
