Hi
Please give me an opinion on my chances to get into a B school of my choice based on my current profile
Academics: I have a 700 (Q:47, V:39, 4.5 AWA) in GMAT (first attempt), I have 3.4 GPA in undergrad from University of Delhi (India) in Finance. I was first in my course in University and awarded a Gold medal for the achievement. I have 95.2% in my high school (12th ), was first in my class. Also scored 90.6% (in 10th)
I have also cleared exams in financial mathematics and statistics and probability from India society of actuarial sciences.
ECA: I was head of placement cell of my college, part of street play society. For my role in placement cell, was awarded a certificate for special contribution to college for my efforts in developing a strong placement infrastructure and making my college among the Top 4 in India (in terms of placement records).
I currently work with Mckinsey & Company as research analyst (1.5 yrs experience). My experience includes client engagement experience in Financial institutions practice in retail banking and asset management in India and consulting research experience in competitive strategy in Asia (11 countries). I was awarded a prize for knowledge contribution to the firm for one of the largest efforts of the practice in 2010. Was the youngest one to receive the award in the history of the firm.
I have been promoted in 1.5 years Vs 2 years stipulated for the role.
Societal contribution: I am also engaged in two social efforts. part of an education initiative in my mckinsey office and also part of a social initiative by the street play society of my college to make people aware about street theater. I have delivered strong impact in both.
College preference
I have a very strong inclination on doing finance and especially investment management in the long term
Will want to apply for 2012 admissions to Columbia, Chicago booth, NYU stern, ISB (India), MIT sloan, Cornell
Please advise if I can consider applying to the above schools. Let me know if I am missing any schools I should apply to considering my profile
