Profile Evaluation

by amitmishra012 » Wed Sep 30, 2009 8:13 am
Hi,

Can you please evaluate my profile?

GMAT: 720
TOEFL: 108
Undergrad: BE Computer Engineering from Maharaja Sayajirao University, India, 3.7 GPA
CFA Level II candidate
Workexp: 7 years: 2 years for small start up company, 5 years for Infosys technologies

Worked as a Business Analyst/Associate PM for a financial client for 3 years in United States.

Involved in various extra curricular activities at school and college level. Won few elocution,quiz and painting competitions.

Weakness: Left work in mid of 2007 to take care of my kid. My kid had some health issues at that time and could not continue working. Once he was doing good, decided to come back to workforce in 2008, but due to visa restrictions and the economic conditions could not find any suitable options. So decided to study further, started with CFA and then moved on GMAT, TOEFL for MBA program.

Target Schools: UCLA,USC,Loyola Marymount (cannot relocate from southern california because of family reasons)

Does my profile look good enough for the schools I am targetting for?
Do you think after 2-3 year gap, I can get into UCLA or USC?
Are there any other colleges I should add to my list?

Thanking you in anticipation
Amit

Amit,

Thank you for your inquiry. I think your chances are better at USC than UCLA, but you have a shot at both. Also consider UCI Mirage & Pepperdine.

Best,
Linda
