Hi,
BACKGROUND:
I did my undergraduate in Civil & Structural Engineering From India with 75% aggregate marks. After that I did my MS in Civil Engineering from University of Maryland, College Park in 2004. Since graduation, I have been working in Calfornia. So I have close to 10 years of experience. During last 10 years, I have worked on number of world class civil engineering projects, especially worth mentioning is IHNC project which consisted of building a massive flood wall in New Orleans to protect it from another katrina like Hurricane. I have also been working on small to large scale civil projects with cities and municipal agencies including USACE.
In last 10 years, I have mostly done geotechnical consulting along with project and client management. Since last 2 years, I have also been doing active marketing to expand our business operations in California.
Now I would like to do my MBA to get into consulting and switch careers for two reasons:
1) I think I have better aptitude for management.
2) I would like to get better compensation in the long run.
My GMAT score is 740 and my GPA in MS was 3.5. I think I can management good recommendation letters from my supervisors. What are my chances of getting into Booth, Kellogs, Harvard, or HASS or other ivy league programs. I only want to apply to top 10 programs.
Also, I want to know is it worth getting help from admission consultants?
Please let me know.
AJ
