Applying to Round 2 this fall for Class of 2017!
Age at time of application : 27 years
GMAT : 650 (IR 6, AWA awaited)
Education:
1. Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from a very good British university (US GPA eq. 3.4)
2. Masters in Aerospace Engineering from a world-class British university (university in world top 10 rankings) (highly quantitative degree) (US GPA eq 3.5)
Experience at time of application:
1. About 1 year at leading aircraft manufacturer.....excellent work done and given due recognition...strong reference available
2. About 2 years in an airline....shown strong performance in team-leading, identifying growth areas and increasing productivity....recognized by management although no official promotion yet.............strong reference available
3. Internships/Experiences here and there at GOOD WELL-KNOWN companies!
Extra-curriculars etc

WHY MBA?
I have invaluable on-the-shop-floor experience and have seen the negative effects of decisions taken by higher management who do not have such experience. Thus I want to change that!!!Have a clear goal to work in higher aviation/aerospace management....can still achieve that without MBA but I strongly believe an MBA from a top BS will help be get there in a better stronger way with a greater recognition in the market!
WHERE FROM MBA?
Given my educational background from top universities nothing less than HBS, Booth , Kellogg, Wharton, Sloan etc...
The only problem is I slacked on the GMAT but do not consider this test to be a true judge of my abilities or my future aspirations...
Please evaluate and tell me whether I have chance at a top school with this GMAT if i ace my essays etc........

Hi there,
Thanks for posting. Your profile was interesting and I think will help you stand out/be remembered, and schools would likely appreciate your perspective in the classroom. Your work experience is strong, academics are solid, especially the masters; you have some leadership experience to draw from; and interesting hobbies/activities to speak to. The biggest weakness IS that GMAT, you are correct, for the caliber of schools you have mentioned. Could it still be possible, with awesome essays/recs/interview etc? Sure. Will it be a reach, especially at HBS and Wharton let's say... yes. If you are aiming for R2... could you give the GMAT one more shot just to see what might happen? I see a lot of improvement at the 650 level (speaking from many years of GMAT tutoring/instructing). You also don't want schools to think, hmm, wonder why he DIDN'T give the GMAT one more shot if there was time between the test and deadline? Just a thought. Otherwise the rest of your profile appears pretty strong in my view.
Good luck with your decisions and applications!
