Hi,
I'm a prospective applicant for a 2-year MBA starting Fall 2011. I was hoping to get your inputs on what my chances are at the top 10 bschools (specifically Stanford, Berkeley haas, Kellogg, MIT Sloan, ), and what do you make of my candidacy to these top programs. Details of my profile are mentioned below.
24/M Indian, with 3 years work-ex at matriculation in the Investment Banking arm of J.P.Morgan
I'm looking at a career in Strategy Consulting in the Technology domain post my MBA, and in time move into Private Equity/Venture Capital in the Cleantech and Emerging technologies domain.
Education:
Bachelor in Engineering (Electronics), graduated from a Top tier University in India in 2008 with highest honours (First Class with Distinction, 70.2%) (equivalent GPA of about 3.5)
GMAT - 760 (Q51, V41, AWA 5.5)
Additional courses - CFA Level 1 cleared with highest grades in all subjects
In terms of my co-curricular and extra-curricular activities,
- I have a 4-year association with National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN), a nonprofit organization that helps budding entrepreneurs launch their businesses and mentors the youth on entrepreneurship. Currently, I'm a part of the Leadership council of NEN E-club Mumbai Chapter.
- Was very active in college co-curricular activities and held several leaderhip positions in different student bodies
(not sure how relevant that will be though)
- Have led a team from college representing the western region at the All-India IEEE conference
- Conducted a session on Global economic crisis and its repercussions on India at College a year after graduation
- Additionally, I'm associated with a local NGO supporting underprivileged children and have taken initiative in mentoring the children
- Am also a part of the local chapter of Lions Club International. (Although both these activities have been recent in 2010)
I would greatly appreciate your inputs on this and your assessment would go a long way in helping me which schools to target with my profile.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankur
