Hi guys,
I am looking to apply to a few top 25 Finance focused B Schools, for the intake of 2019 (September).
I know it's a bit early but I wanted to get an idea of where I would stand a chance of being accepted in order to really focus on the individual applications.
Any feedback would be helpful!
GMAT Score: 700
Educational Qualifications:
Undergraduate -
Bachelors in Commerce, 69.2% score, First Class, graduated 2013
Professional Qualifications-
(1) Chartered Accountant (Institute of Chartered Accountants of India): This is one of the toughest professional courses in India, and anywhere I'm sure. There are 3 levels of exams, and in between the 2nd and 3rd levels, you have to undergo practical training for a period of 3 years. Completed in May, 2016.
(2) Chartered Alternative Investments Analyst: Conducted by the CAIA association in America. I have cleared Level 1 of this exam in March 2017, appearing for Level 2 in September. I hope to have this wrapped by the time I apply.
Work exp:
(1) As a part of my Chartered Accountancy, I worked with EY for 3 years. 2 of these years were after my undergrad completion (I'm told that makes it count as work-ex).
(2) Post CA qualification, I have been working with the brokerage arm of the largest private bank in India as a sell-side Equities Analyst. Currently in the role for 10 months. By the time I apply, this would more than double.
Target: Finance focused MBAs in the US or Europe
Any feeback on any aspect of my profile would be really appreciated. Especially w.r.t my odds of getting into a good US MBA program! The dream would be something like NYU Stern. I think the Whartons and Booths of this world are a bit far out of my reach
Thanks in advance
