Getting started with R2 applications.. Kindly evaluate my profile for my target schools
BS (03-07) Mechanical Engg (Premier Institute in India) GPA: 9.15 (Rank: 1/90)
MS (07-09) Mechanical Engg (Top 10 Colleges in US) GPA: 4.0
GMAT: 730(Q 50, V 39, AWA 5.0)
Work Experience: 2 yrs (by the time I join MBA) in a fortune 500 company in US with a big brand name. Work duties were into design optimization, mechanical analysis and cost reduction. Have a Six Sigma Green Belt certification too. Received an employee appreciation award within a year.
Other experiences: Few internships in big companies, journal and conference publications and a patent.. Not sure if any of these count!
Extra curricular: Was very active in few technical (headed one too) and a community service club in undergrad …also, currently involved in local community service projects..
Interest in MBA:
Having a strong technical background with bachelors, masters and industry experience, I am planning to focus on technology/innovation and organizational management .
Target Schools: Yale, Kellogg, Stanford, Ross, UCLA Anderson, CMU Tepper, Univ of Virginia Darden
While most of the people I talked to suggested me not to apply this yr, I feel that my current job (which is purely technical) would not provide any major value addition in terms of where I want to be by working extra couple of years. Just my thought!
Do I stand a chance at my any of my target schools with my profile and limited work exp?
Would it drastically effect my reapplication in case I get a reject from all the places?
Thanks in advance!
