Hello,
I would kindly request you to review my below profile.
Profile : 25/Male/Indian
Education : Bachelor of Engineering(IT) completed with 3.67 gpa(converted using one of the softwares online) from Mumbai university.
Work experience : Worked with Infosys as a Systems Engineer for 2 years during which I was working for Microsoft Corp. as a client. Interacted with clients and internal Microsoft employees from various parts of the world. Currently working with an NGO - Pratham, which operates in the child education sector, as an Associate since 8 months. It's the largest ngo in India working towards this cause with over 5,000 employees. I work in one of the smaller verticals within the organization which works towards providing vocational skills to underprivileged youth. My job description includes fund raising, communications, donor relations, marketing, etc. Will have a total of 4 yrs or work ex when I join the b-school.(Shifted to an ngo because of an influential book i read and decided to take such a sharp turn. Did not feel i was making an impact being in IT)
GMAT : 1st attempt - 670(Q49, V32, AWA - 5.5)
Extra Curricular activities : Was the annual day coordinator for my undergrad college with over 600 guests attending the event, was a part of the organizing committee within my cluster in Infosys which had more than 300 employees - conducted various informal events under the employee engagement program, volunteered with a few other ngos in India for a few days, helped my uncle in his textile export business - automated a few processes and handled an important consignment in its entirety, was the event head in various events in undergrad college, head of the undergrad college badminton team, member of my class volleyball, fooball and cricket team, won medals in swimming, judo, skating during my school days. I like playing a lot of sports, as is apparent.
Post-MBA goal : (Short term)Work for a social organization with a global footprint in the program implementation and donor communication profile. Get to know perspectives and challenges faced globally. Connect my current ngo with the global organization and work towards expanding its scope of operation. (Long term) Start an organization of my own which will help provide vocational skills to the underprivileged youth in India, as that's what motivated me to join the current ngo.
Target schools - Top 20 b-schools in USA. Not sure if my profile is well suited for the same. Also, would love to look at schools inclined towards CSR or social entrepreneurship.
Please suggest the schools that are well suited for my profile and my goals.
Any other advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
