Hi Guys,
Kindly review my profile and suggest the target colleges for "One Year Full Time MBA" program in Singapore, Europe, USA, Canada or India.
1) I have ~11 years of experience in leading semiconductor companies (top 5) in the capacity of R&D Project Leader (leading small teams of 6-8 engineers). Received 2-3 spot/PAT awards. No international experience, however had worked closely with international teams.
2) Completed Part-Time MBA from IIM Lucknow, India in 2015 with a CGPA of 7.2/10 (2013-2015).
3) Average academic records: Bachelor of Technology in Electronics & Communications (71%), XII (66%), X(73%).
4) Published 2 papers during my part-time MBA, 1st on Business Strategy in a CII conference and 2nd is a project work on Digital Marketing which has been included as a case study in a textbook by IIM Lucknow Prof, published by Oxford University Press.
5) Extracurricular: [a] Volunteered for fundraising in school (class 7/8) for HelpAge India and Cancer Aid Society. [b] Active participation in sports tournaments in school and college. [c] Organised Tech-fest in college [d] Editor of college magazine etc.. However, i don't have proofs/certificates for most of these initiatives.
6) Planning to take GMAT in July 2017.
Reason of doing a 2nd MBA:
- Seeking accelerated career growth in Product Management or Management Consulting role.
- Global exposure.
Also, pls suggest if my part-time MBA from IIM Lucknow can be detrimental in my candidature? Can I leverage on it or Adcom will grill me ?
Thanks & regards,
Yash

Hey Yash,
Very good to hear from you!
So it's really really tough to give a profile evaluation without a proper GMAT since it is such a vital component of your application. But allow me to give you a general overview based on what I see here, and I hope you will find it helpful.
First of all GMAT: If you can take the GMAT earlier, do so. In July questions are already released. So if you can get the GMAT done by June, it would be better for you.
Second regarding your profile, your major weakness is I think that at this point it feels "Standard tech". So far (and I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I just don't see it in what you wrote) I don't see business experience, leadership experience, international experience... all of which would make your profile more attractive. That plus being from the tough demographic of being Indian and Male will make things harder.
But I don't want to scare you away
Just to say the going can be a bit tough. So prepare yourself for it - first and foremost by ensuring that you have a strong and original story!Given your experience, you may also want to look into EMBA programs which are designed with more experienced candidates such as yourself in mind.
I hope this gets you off to a good start.
Don't hesitate to write with any more questions.
Best,
Jon Frank

Hi Jon,
Thanks for taking out time and reviewing my profile.
I can understand that it is difficult to suggest or review without a GMAT score. I'm preparing for GMAT at the moment and hopefully will be done by July.
Just wanted to know in detail about the following comment:
In July questions are already released. So if you can get the GMAT done by June,
Request you to please elaborate on this, what it means when you say questions are released by July? I hope i'm not missing anything because of my ignorance.
Regards,
Yash
