Hi there,
I'm planning to apply for the third round INSEAD Jan 2017 intake and wondering if you could help look at my profile! Greatly appreciated!
Age:30
Gender: Female
Nationality: Chinese (and permanent resident of UK)
Undergraduate: top 10 University in China, majored in Journalism, GPA 4.1-4.2 on a scale of 5
Postgraduate: top 5 University in UK, MSc in Communications, Pass (Do I try to explain the bad grade? I think I struggled a bit first time relocating to a different country, getting a tough one year MSc and trying to do internships and secure a job and visa)
GMAT: 720 (Q50, V37, IR5, AWA5)
Work experience: 7.5 years, Sales&Marketing Manager in UK TV company based in London, working with top TV networks across Asia, solely responsible for individual deal negotiation and field trips 3-5 countries every year. I have trained up coordinators for the team and supervised them for short period. No experience in managing team.
Activities: co-founded an alumni startup community and sits on a committee of a small non-profit and responsible for PR.
International exposure: Lived in China, Hong Kong &UK and worked with clients from 20+ countries
Recommenders: my line manager and a director from the company
Motivation for MBA: I felt my background and experience is limiting me into a particular sector/function while I want to progress and learn other perspectives of business and management. Short term plan is to switch career to consultancy to learn strategy and management hopefully with a focus on media&creative industry, long term to come back to industry to senior management at multinational media conglomerate.
I wonder if my profile is strong enough for INSEAD and if there anything I should work on in particular? And with my age and work experience whether worth considering a EMBA?
Many thanks for your advice!!
