Hi.. Thanks much in advance!!
I started the whole journey last year and then decided I am better off waiting for one more year before starting Business school and here I am!
Background: Born in small village in India. Moved to Nepal when I was a yr old. Did all my schooling in Nepal. I come from a very poor family and no one is educated so me completing high school was a big deal. (My dad’s studied the highest-8th grade). When I was starting my high school, dad started his own business and wanted me to be part of it. I helped him out for 2 yrs and then decided I need to study more. (I was a good student and my teachers were the one encouraged me to go to college). Now I wanted to get at least a college degree. Apart from working for my dad I used to work in small software firm in Nepal (ITNTI) as an administrative assistant. This is where I was introduced to computers and was fascinated by it. I decided I wanted to study further in computers but my family wanted me to look after the family business. I fought hard and when my dad didn’t give in, I pretty much got kicked out of the house. I got my visa, had saved enough money for my first semester and started my college. After leaving home I regretted leaving my family and understood their value. It was too late to go back but I started helping them from US. In my second yr. In college I went to China with my dad for a major expansion of his business. He has moved from selling on the streets with me to managing 6 stores and an office in China.
Education and Work Experience: Graduated with a 3.94 GPA from State University(Minnesota) at age of 20. Worked throughout the college and have held more than 15 jobs during college life. Got my internship at a big law firm and thus a full time job. Got promoted once within these 2 yrs(usual 5 yrs) and got interested in Business side of techonology. After getting tired to find something that would fit my professional needs, I decided to sell everything in MN and move to NYC. Now I work at Wall St in a QA dept. but really close to the Sales team and going to be joining the business side soon. 4.5 yrs of work experience before I get in the school.
Community Involvement: PLENTY! From President to Social chair of various org group..
Why I want my MBA or what do I want from my MBA?
I want to do my MBA in International Business. I believe Techonology is the support function for business but not business itself. Hence, the business side of Technology is where I want to go!! Intl Business Mgmt with Technology focus.
GMAT: Q50, V40 - 740
Target schools: Haas, UCLA, and may be eveennnn Stanford.
. Can you help me add to this list. Georgetown seems to be a good fit when I think of In't Business and Management
My safety schools??
Thanks again
