Dear Stacy,
To start with, let me give you my background.
I have a bachelor's degree from India. my GPA was 3.2 on a scale of 4 in my undergradute studies.
Thereafter I did Join in an MBA program which I only attaended for an year and had to discontinue due to family problems.
I have 5+ years of experience.Most of that (around 3 years) has been in Commodity trading and Supply Chain Manangement.
I also ran my own company for an year after my undergradute studies.
I have worked with 2 of the best companies in the commodity trading Business and was last looking after a commodity's entire supply chain in a particular region.
I have also been promoted thrice in my stints with organizations and believe I have a good qualitative experience in the Area of trading and Supply Chain.
I have also been fortunate to work in three continents in my work life.I have had stints in Europe, Africa and Asia.
As For my Co-Curriculars, I have been an active sportsman and captained College and School teams in Cricket and Badminton.I have been an active Quizzer all my life and have won lots of awards for winning Quizzes. I have also been actively Involved in organizing various events in College.
I took the GMAT last year with little preparation and scored a meagre 590.I did however apply to MSU-broad and was waitlisted initially but was denied in the final round.
My scores in the practise tests have so far been hovering in the 660-680 region (Manhattan and GMATPrep) and I think I might realistically be able to achieve 680 on the GMAT.
I have currently shortlisted the following Schools to apply to:
1) MSU-Broad
2) Indiana-Kelley
3) Rice
4) Ohio-Fisher
As for the 5th School, I am undecided about whether to apply to a higher ranked school or hedge my bets and apply to a lower ranked one.
I have 2 questions for you:
1) Should I take a risk and choose to send my scores to a higher ranked college?? If yes, can you suggest a good college for supply chain and trading other than the ones I have already mentioned??
2) Are 1 year programs considered at Par with 2 year Ones?? If yes, then are there any 1 year programs focussed on Supply Chain and trading in the U.S??
Thanks a lot in Advance for your help
Regards
Ashish
