Corporate Social Responsibility:
Providing free education,with the help of my mother, to few children in my community, with poor financial background, acquainting them with the basics of english,
hindi and mathematics (counting, addition, subtraction etc).

Now, why MBA?
Its been 3 years in Academia, and now i am standing at the cross-roads where one way goes towards PhD and another towards MBA. I choose MBA because whatever the knowledge and skills that i have gained throughout the years, i want to utilize them and create something substantial which can generate jobs or change lives so getting into MBA will give me clarity in my vision and i might find some like minded people. Apart form that, I also invest in stocks (equities, derivatives etc) which allowed me to know about financial markets. I found this very interesting and learning more about them.

# I want to know your reviews about my profile, what are my chances? which colleges should i aim for and expected GMAT score?

Thank you !

Hello there good sir!
You have an interesting profile, as not many people go from Academia to an MBA. It could be a strength but it could also be a weakness, depending on the details of your job, and how you tell your story.

But it definitely does make sense given where you are now and your goals.

Where you can apply to will depend a lot also on your GMAT. And it's hard to say "what score to aim at"- because the answer is always the same - the highest score you can get!
Once you get that score, we can start to take a look at where you might fit.

But I would guess that somewhere within the 10-50 range, depending on your GMAT.

Best,

Thanks for your reply Jon ! I was just worried whether my profile is acceptable for any B-school or not. I will get back to you as soon as i receive my GMAT score.

Good luck to you!
Best,
