Hi,
Can any of the experts help me with my profile evaluation:
28 F India
Undergraduate in hospitality (no GPA's but among the top ten in college - have certificates to prove that. In % terms, about 78% - (I dont know how that maps to GPA, though).
22 month experience working with hotels, later changed careers, moved to finance, joined a leading finance firm in India as an intern in 2008 (studied all finance courses part time during internship), got confirmed with them as an analyst in 2010, promoted to senior analyst in 2012. My work is hard core finance working with leading US companies. Overall 5.5 years exp. in finance plus additional 22 months in hotels.
Job Responsibility - During my hospitality days, led a team of 10 odd people, but in finance I am part of a team (although a senior member now and provide lot of mentoring to juniors, hold training sessions, guide and review their work). Additionally, I have some cross border work exp. (I was in NYC for three months and worked directly with my US team members). I have also worked for brief time period with European analysts - so some cross border work experience involved there.
Pursuing my CFA along with work..cleared Level II last year, yet to give L3.
Extra curriculars - Good debator in school/college (have certificates), involved in adventure trips (river raftings, marathon's, treks etc). At work ,I am involved in the Employee Engagement Team and organize fun events for employee motivation plus channelize their grievances to the concerned authorities.
GMAT - Still studying. Aiming for 700 (but do you think 670-680 would be ok?)
Target Colleges - Wharton, NYU, Darden, Duke, Emory, Cornell
Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks for your help.
