Hi there,
Guys, I have roughly 2.5 years of work experience (will be one year more in matriculation) and I'm thinking to apply on 2nd round (early January). Since in most schools average work experience of classes is 5 years, is it disadvantageous to apply with less than average WE? Please note that I need full scholarship, so simply getting into the school isn't enough for me. Also, could anyone please suggest me specific schools to target where I can get a full scholarship based on my profile below?
25 year-old male from Azerbaijan
- Bachelors in Industrial Engineering and Management (courses were heavily on economics and management rather than technical) from a well-known auniversity in Azerbaijan.
- GPA 82/100
- GMAT working on
- IELTS - after GMAT
- WE: 3 months internship at Central Bank during undergrad, 5 months of international experience (Central Europe) as a trading and operations consultant at a brokerage firm, and its been 2 years that I've been working at Central Bank as a risk management specialist.
-extra curricular and leadership: I don't know whether it can be considered as an extra curricular-1 year of military service. During this period I've been promoted to unit commander position, I had a couple of soldiers in my unit. I thought it can be critical considering Azerbaijan is in harsh military situation. Also, I've conducted a pilot project single-handedly which encompassed several departments at the Central Bank. Now i'm team manager of the real project (I think it can be counted as a leadership experience as well)
- No community service. But I have a reason, I didn't have a such a luxury and time to work for free because at the age of 19 I lost my father, so I had to take care of my family and my studies.
-My goal is to switch to management consultancy.
Cheers.
