Hi,
Please evaluate the profile below:
Male 29, Indian.
Field : Telecommunications
Work Experience : 5.5 years.
Undergard GPA = 2.6/4.0(From one of the best engineering institutes in the country)
M.Sc in Mobile communications : 1st In class and distinction.
GMAT = 650( Q44,V35)
Extracurricular activities : I don't have experience of working for any NGO,but I have been active in sports in undergrad.I have played Chess at the international level,representing India as well.Most of the sports experience(soccer,chess,lawn tennis etc) is during my time spent in school or undergrad ,therefore I am not sure how useful this will be while applying.
I am interested in applying to top 3-4 schools in Europe( LBS,INSEAD,IESE spain,ESADe etc.) & 3-4 schools in USA( Wharton,NYU ,Kellogs ,HBS)
All the aforementioned roles have been engineering roles with varying responsibilities .Noneof the roles have been at managerial level.
The main reason for pursuing an MBA at this stage is twofold:
Firstly,I would like to move into Finance and for that MBA would provide me with an ideal platform to switch careers..
Secondly,I seem to be at a plateau in terms of career progression and MBA could provide me with a thrust necessary to move upward in an organization.
Please evaluate my profile .I am worried about the low undergrad GPA and borderline GMAT score.I can try again with the GMAT and 680-700 could be achieved.
Would my good master's degree & above average GMAT negate the low undergrad GPA and what are the chances of getting in some of the schools mentioned earlier.
Please advise.
