Education: IIT graduate (bachelors degree) with GPA 3.6/4.
Work Experience: 2 years at a leading software company (product development). Promoted once.
GMAT Score: 740
Leadership experience: At college - Head of student organization, Organized tech competitions at college.
At work - Started and organized a tech forum for a year. The forum is still active and working under the same guidelines I set.
Extra curriculars: Photography, Significant experience in fine-arts. Have been teaching to under-privileged children in India during weekends.

Interests: Strategy, Operations, Entrepreneurship . Would like to get into consulting post-MBA (but no prior experience in consulting).

I wish to apply for ISB, Darden, SC Johnson, Tepper, MIT Sloan, Ross, Booth.

My questions:

1. What are my chances to each one of the schools listed above?
2. I love consulting yet have no experience in it. Will that be negative?
3. Are there any other schools I should put to suit my interests?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Thanks for your post. You appear to be a well rounded candidate with a good career trajectory to date as well as some volunteer work and your share of personal interests. The only issue I see regarding your candidacy is your age. With just two years of work experience under your belt, you are on the younger side for bschool programs.

While your age isn't necessarily a liability, it is something you need to be cognizant of. The adcom could be biased to think that you have time to work a couple of more years before going to bschool. Your job in your essays is to convince them that you are at a natural turning point in your career and that now is actually the best time for you to leave. If for a moment the adcom thinks you can delay your MBA then it's an easy reason to ding you. So be specific and be sure you make it clear that now really is the best time.

If you can do as I suggested above as well as find creative ideas/topics for your essays, you can certainly be competitive at the programs on your list.

Best,

Stacey
