Hey,
I have been an avid reader of this website but have never posted so figured I would give that a shot. First of all a little about myself.
1) Expected gmat score ...650-680
2) undergrad ...bachelors in mechanical engineering..univ of madras 75%
3)grad school... university of utah....horrible experience would rather not talk about it
4) work experience... one year as a design engineer working with assembly and fabrication
two years as a deisgn engineer working for a packaging machinery firm. Have worked on 5 projects since hire and have patents on 4 of them.
So there is a little about me. I should mention my wife is from the united states so I have my green card dont really know if that helps as opposed to applying as an international student. I am applying to the LFM program at MIT which focuses on tapping into your engineering skills with a management perspective. I love new product development and how the recent manufacturing shift from united states to india and china have affected new product design and development in the united states. In fact 3 of my patents have come from new product development where the application of the equipment to these processes are unique. It is a long shot getting into MIT given my past but for the last 3 yrs I have made significant progress . Leads me to say I have read a lot of questions here and I dont think anyone should loose hope about their application. You are here talking about it and putting in the effort which counts for a lot. I have always said...If I can goto bed at night knowing I put in my 100% I'm good. Thought I would put this post up and hopefully more as I get ready to submit my application.
P.S. I am going to mit sloan for an informational session on the 27th of October Hope to talk to a professor or two about my passions my mistakes etc. Will keep you all posted.
