hi,
Request you to evaluate my profile.
Indian Male, Age: 30 at the time of matriculation
GMAT: 680
B.Tech: NIT Jaipur (Electronics & Communication)
M.Tech (Aeronautics)
Work Ex:
Indian Navy as Lieutenant Commander (total 10 years at the time of matriculation)
Handled various roles as Department Head, Manager etc.
Presently, Manager at a Naval Aircraft Yard (mainly looking after operations, logistics & HR management)
Extra curricular: Runners up in Indian Naval Boat Pulling Regatta (most prestigious sailing competition of IN), Runners up in Enterprise Class sailing, conducted various events etc.
Awarded Commendation (awarded only to 3% officers)
Other details: Holds a PMP and have done various courses from Coursera & EdX to enhance my skillset and work in the Navy.
Why MBA: Post retirement, I want to get into Operations Management. I have decent managerial skills, good analytical and problem solving abilities and good leadership skills. I think an international MBA will enhance my overall personality, will help me learn from my coursemates & will provide me a learning opportunity to excel in corporate.
Please suggest colleges which are within my reach and which are a bit out of my reach but likely possible. I intent to do a full time MBA from US/ Singapore/ Europe.
Thank you
PS: I will be giving GMAT again in 3 months time and expect to increase the score by 30-40 points.

Hi kumawatpriyank,
Thanks for posting. Your work experience in the Navy is less traditional compared to most applicants from India, so I think that will give you quite a bit of edge. You are on the more experienced side though, so make sure you can present very clear/compelling reasons why you need an MBA (and not an Executive MBA) at this stage of your career.
I'm not sure how strong your GPA is, but either way, I agree with the focus on retaking GMAT. Even with the strengths in your profile, I think a 720+ score will improve your chances a lot.
I am most familiar with US schools, and suggest you focus on ones that are known for Operations. Sloan and Ross are two that come to mind. Sloan could be quite challenging though depending on where your GMAT ends up. I've seen former military clients really like the culture at schools like Tuck and Duke and Darden too, they all have very strong management offerings too.
Hope this helps, and best of luck!
