hi,

just back from my gmat :D
scored 730 -96 %ile( Q 49 V 40)

I'am primarily interested in pursuing MS finance degree but may go for an mba majoring in finance as i realize that maybe my age is too high and quant score too low for a good msf course

Background:

Currently employed (3 Years) with an organisation committed to upliftment of rural poor in India and mandated to do so by the Government of India ( www.nabard.org) as an assistant manager.My job involves receiving ,scrutinizing and, if found alright, ensuring the sanction of proposals for the receipt of subsidy from the government of India. the job involves scrutinizing proposals for their techno financial and socio economic parameters as well as on site inspection of the infrastructure created to assess end user viability.

passed senior secondary exam in 2002 with 87 %
graduated from delhi university in 2005 with 64 % (bachelor of commerce with honours)
completed post graduation from a regional university (full time) in 2007 -masters in commerce-49.5%
:(

was employed part time (working as a subscriptions assistant/manager) with a charitable institution from 2007-2009 while i also prepared for various indian competitive exams.

extra curriculars:
school captain
won awards for playing basketball,participating in quizzes, and throwing shotput at school level .

job related achievement: ensured the top position of my state (Madhya Pradesh) in the successful and zero default subsidy distribution for development of agriculture marketing infrastructure development in rural areas of the state.

Hi maverick_084,

Thanks for your post. And congrats on a strong GMAT score.

Since you mention that you are primarily interested in MS Finance programs, I wanted to point out that not all top programs focus on applicants coming directly from an undergraduate program. The Financial Times has a helpful ranking of MS Finance programs for people who have already entered the workforce: https://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolra ... ience-2012.

Regarding your MBA profile, your academics will be strengthened by a strong GMAT score (730 will be above average of most schools) but weakened by your Masters in Commerce grades. If you passed in the First Class from your Bachelor, that will help (especially if there were extenuating circumstances during your Masters).

It will be important to show career progression in your work experience (through promotions, compensation increases, increased responsibility). Working part-time for two years will put you at a disadvantage versus most applicants who worked full-time since graduating from college, so career progression since will be even more important.

The extracurricular section of your application is important as well. I recommend only including activities in college and since then. Team sports are excellent to include and leadership positions should be highlighted.

Based on the information you have shared, I suggest targeting 'top 15-30' ranked schools. Please feel free to e-mail [email protected] for a free detailed profile evaluation.

Heidi
