Hi,
I'm Rijo from Bangalore, India.
Brief Summary of profile:
Current Position : Partner at National Printing Press ( 30 year old Family business founded by my father in Bangalore with over 120 employees), Been here for 2 years. Was involved in a part time capacity since I was 14 years old(not sure if this counts) I did buy my way into the partnership if that helps my cause. Would have worked here for 3 years by the time I join the course.
Previous position: Trainee Decision Scientist at Mu Sigma Business Solutions (Full time). was here for about 22 months.
GMAT Score: 710 (Q - 49(77%), V - 38(85%), AWA - 5(59%), IR-6(69%))
Education: Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Engineering from BMS College of Engineering. Graduated with a 8.46 CGPA( First class with distinction)
Extra Ciriculars and Community Service
Take part every year during the various cultural programs in our community
Love to code, learnt to write code my self and developed a working website for my friends' start up (unfortunately closed right now)
Volunteerd as a teacher at the school for children affected with HIV/AIDS during my summer vacations while I was in college
Target Schools:
Columbia Business School
Haas School of Business
Michigan (Ross)
Cornell
Darden
I heard a lot of emphasis is given to the quant score on the GMAT. Is my score good? I'm not sure if it is good enough to get into CBS or Haas. Will I need to rewrite GMAT again? I'm not sure my scores would significantly improve if I do (I was consistently hitting 720 on the practise tests).
Also how important is my AWA and IR section scores? I don't think I've done exceptionally well there.
Overall, what do you think of my chances of getting in based on my profile? Should I look for other lower ranked schools?
Thanks and Regards,
Rijo John
