Hi,
I'm planning to apply to a US MBA Program that is strong in General Management & Consulting for fall 2011 admissions. I'm from management consulting background, but I have limited industry/domain experience as I work purely in IT Management(Non Technical) domain. Post MBA I want to take up a career in Stratey Consulting or General Management.
Targeting - Top: Tuck; Mid: Darden, Anderson, Ross; Low: Tepper, Fuqua, McCombs, Marshall, Kenan-Flagler
Can you please evaluate my profile and suggest what are the 2-3 areas that I need to work on in the comming 6months for submitting a stronger application?
Profile:
- 26, Male, India, Engineer(Computer Sciences), GMAT(AWA) 630(5.0) & 670(5.0)
- School 86%(10th) & 94%(12th). College 72% overall from top 20 univerisity in India.
- 5 yrs(currently) with IBM(India based) as Consultant reporting to client and working with client teams out of Australia, Malaysia, Europe and America. 2 promotions in first 4 years & adjudged as Top Tallent(top ~5% of staff) in & since 2008. Several awards & recognitions in Job. Joined as techie(never written a line of code!) and recruited into Strategy Consulting practice in 2009 based on my demonstrated performance in consulting roles.
- Extra curriculars:
School: participation in essay & elocution competetions, drama(almost acted in every single drama every year), badminton(competed for state championship)
College: Student committee(event management - started as volunteer and finished as Joint Co-Ordinator of Hospitality Committee in 4th year)
Current: learning guitar, spanish(currently in intermediate level), have connected with CEO of an NGO to find some pro-bono consulting/volunteering opportunities for me.
PS: I would put in extra hours in the NGO work than take GMAT again. But pls tell me if it is ABOSLUTELY necessary to re-take.
Regards,
