Hi Hjort,
Please evaluate my profile and let me know if you have any school suggestions.
29 year old Indian male; undergrad from an OK school in India; 3rd in
class of 35 with 70%.; 740 gmat (95-Q, 93-V): 8.5 years of experience
in IT and Telecom Worked in India for 3.5 years and the rest in USA.
Currently working for a mid size telecom company in a research
department that looks at technology problems that might be relevant 5
to 10 years down the lane. have 5 pending patents. Prior to that worked in Software Development for some big name telecom companies in India.
I am also working part time on my masters from CMU and plan to
complete it by May next year. GPA is 3.56/4.33.
With my part time masters and full time work I do not get a lot of
time to do anything else other than writing checks to two causes I
believe in. I was elected vice president at school for a student body
of around 150 students.
Goals: I would like to return to India after a couple of years after my MBA. Short term I would like to work in corporate strategy/product
planning roles in a multinational IT company (Ex: Microsoft) . Long
term: Start my own company
What are my chances at W and INSEAD? Do you have any other school suggestions?
Thank you
