Here it goes:
Indian/IT/Female
Age-23
Gpa:8.81 from an Indian university(not really known outside my home state), top 10 of my department
Xth:90%, top 10 of my class
XIIth:96%, 2nd in school
gmat:720(q49 v40) awa-4.5
WE: 1 year in Asia's largest IT consultancy firm. If I apply this year, would be 2 years by matriculation.
I am working in Enterprise Resource Planning(Oracle EBS), our client is one of the largest corporations of US.
Identified as key resource in the project.
Primary point of contact for a module.
Good ratings.
Was Class representative during a technical training program.
EC: organized fests and cultural activities during school and college
- was class representative during college
- love photography
- charity events as part of company's charity organization
- love reading, so part of company's book club
Post MBA goals: I want to work in the finance sector(preferably in investment banking) in future and my plan is to gain experience and international exposure in that field.
Target schools:Tuck, Haas, LBS, Sloan, Duke, Darden, Yale, Johnson, Oxford, Judge.
My questions:
1.I realize that my experience is quite low compared to other candidates, and especially compared to the competitive Indian-IT pool. So, I know it makes sense for me to wait at least another year before applying. But I would really like to apply to atleast one school this year to get some perspective. Is that a good idea?
2.Are these schools within my reach? Would my prospects increase if I wait another year?
3. Should I retake the gmat? Would a higher score (say above 750) help?
4.What are my chances for scholarship?
I know a lot of these questions are difficult to answer, but some guidance and insight would be helpful.
