Hi Hjork,
Could you please evaluate my profile and suggest which B-schools should I be applying to ?
Nationality : Indian
Qualification : Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Science with an aggregate of 84%.
Work Experience : I am working with IBM India for the last 6 years, with 2 years in IBM Austin, Texas as a technical onsite co-ordinator. I have been in the role of a team lead since the last 2 years. I currently lead a team of 15, and am a prospective candidate towards becoming a manager (project management) in IBM.
GMAT score : 720 (Q50, V38)
Extracurricular activities : Have been involved in a community service initiative by like-minded people in IBM. We work towards helping the needy and poor in more ways than one - distribution of notebooks for school children, help children in an orphanage with educational needs and so on.
Kindly suggest what schools would suit my profile. My focus is on schools which have strong curriculum for consultancy and finance.
Also, I'd like your opinion on doing a European MBA Vs US MBA. I am inclined towards European MBA more so from a cost perspective and the fact that most of the European B-Schools (Insead, HEC, IMD, SDA Bocconi) offer the 1 - 1.5 year MBA. What are the ROI for European Vs US B-schools ?
Thanks in advance,
Vijay
