Cross Post - Sorry!
Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2005 7:11 am Post subject: First post - Could someone hazard a guess - my chances?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Hjort, all
Hi!
I didnt want to cross post, hence this common post. I have been lurking on the GMAT forums for about a week now. Since my GMAT was scheduled for today (10th Oct, 2005), I could'nt get to use the GMAT related forums as much as I would have liked.
I had promised myself ages back that I would not think about BSchool untill I had a decent GMAT score in hand. I just finished by GMAT today and scored 750 (Q49; V42).
I would really appreciate your thoughts on my chances for admission to one of the top programs. I want to work in the energy sector after doing my MBA - I have energy consulting and energy sector majors in mind.
My profile is as follows:
# 2003 - 2005: Associate at a top law firm in India - Working with infrastructure and project finance, mostly in India and some based in SE Asia. Have acted in a fair number of international transactions including several high profile energy sector acquisitions. Have travelled a fair bit on work.
# 198 - 2005: BA, LLB (Hons), National Law School, India. Ranked 39 / 2500 in the entrance exam (Acceptance rate = 80/2500). Was placed midway in class. CGPA of 4.75/7 (roughly equates to 2.75/4). Highest in class was about 6.2/7 (roughly 3.5/4).
# Trainer at corporate training seminars for oil and gas majors. Extremely strong co-curricular and extra-curricular activities (No sports though). Student government in Law School and in High School. Lots of debating and international competitions. Involved with several community development efforts in and around New Delhi, Inda. VP - Communications with a voluntary organisation.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Regards, C

Based on the information provided, it seems you have a pretty good shot at schools in the top clusters. However, there are some strong programs in the energy sector outside of the top clusters as well.

Dear Hjort
Thank you so much for your message.
I have now more or less decided to split up my application process. I am thinking of applying to my top 5 this year.
If I do not make it, I will follow a more structured application process with two or three safetys next year.
I have only 28 months of experience as a write this - So I figure that applying next year should not be an issue, even if applying this year is.
HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg are in my top 5 list. Does Sloan require any particular kind of background? I couldnt see any such requirement when reviewing Sloan application materials.
I will adopt a much broader list next year if this year's application process doesnt work out.
Once again, thank you!
