Hello Stacy,
I would like to get my profile reviewed and need inputs on the range of colleges I can safely focus on. I would appreciate if you could spare a minute or two.
Here's a brief about my profile:
GMAT 730 (V 43, Q 47) AWA - 4.5 (37%) -- appeared in mid 2009.
Experience: 6.5 years into IT sector. (with roles such as Programmer, Designer, Team Lead) + (Significant overseas exposure)
Graduation - B.E. (ECE) -> 76%, MD University, India
School - X -> 76%, X+2 -> 77% (CBSE, India)
I have occasionally been involved with some extra curricular and social volunteering activites since school, college, and during career.
Career Expectations: I am looking to pursue MBA program for career growth in my current field. i.e. IT sector.
I have few questions:
1. How would you rate my profile? What kind of schools should I target? Are global top-10 or top-20 a reasonable target?
2. Though I have done fairly well in my professional career and am recognized by managers and clients, I do not have any letters of promotion or "written" client appreciations to show as proof to the admissions committee. Can this pose a problem? How can I circumvent this?
3. Is the low AWA score (37%) a cause for concern? Do business schools pay significant attention to AWA as well?
4. How would my percentage at Graduation (76%) convert to the GPA? What would be my approx GPA at this %age?
I really appreciate your responses.
Thanks in advance.
