I am a 21 year old student trying for early career admissions at Top 10 US Schools in 2009 fall.
Can you comment upon my chances realistically.. Also since I have 10 months before I apply for MBA are there any further options which might help my applications..
Background: I hail from the most backward districts in India, qualified for the top ranked high-school and then the best undergrad college for commerce in India. Have a good leadership, research, academic, ECA & social service record.
Doubtful about an early career admit since I have no full time work experience
GMAT: 760
Advanced Diploma in Chinese Language & Business (900 hrs of classes)- Rank 1
Undergrad: Top ranked business/commerce undergrad course in India (SRCC Delhi). 70% (Top 5% in final year) - Majors: Finance & Investment, CFA Level 1 cleared
Top 1% of country in high-school
Internships:
• Worked on World Economic forum- India Summit 2008
• Interning with a Member of Parliament for a year. Project: Commonwealth Games 2010
Research:
• Ranked #1 among undergraduate teams, Top 5 globally at IIM Ahmedabad Confluence 2007 (largest B School summit in Asia) research contest with 80 teams from IIMs, ISB, LBS, Chicago GSB etc competing.
• 3 out of 6 models suggested were adopted within 12 months of the paper.
Leadership:
• Head of the largest debating event in India. Record finances on campus.
• Head of largest business-cum-cultural event in India. Raised record finances despite the 2008 meltdown.
ECA: 60+ varied national/international events- Debating (Have debated & won against 70 B Schools at IIMA Confluence 2006), Quizzing, Writing (Columnist for a financial newspaper) etc.
Social Service: Worked for Right to Information Act 2005 specific NGO, led to HUGE IMPACT in public projects with very heavy positive media coverage on varied issues.
