Profile Evaluation Request

by amil » Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:36 am
Hi,

I am a 26 years old, Indian male.
Gmat - 710
undergraduate : B.Tech from india - non IIT - 81% - Class Topper.

Work ex: Working with one of the top Consulting firms for the past 4 years and by the time I join a B School it will be 5 years. Worked in the Technology Consulting for 3 years in diverse roles and then moved to Digital Marketing Strategy Team, where I have been working for the past 1 year on Digital Marketing Tactics for Financial Services Clients across Globe. The transition was totally intentional because I wanted to do MBA in Marketing Strategy and Entrepreneurship. Promoted Twice in a span of 4 years.

Awards : Multiple Recognition and Awards during 4 years.

Volunteer exp: I have been a Teach India Volunteer and currently heading the youth wing of an NGO for mentally challenged.

Questions -
1. Can you please suggest the B Schools where I can apply in the 1st round for MBA?
2. What should be my application highlights?

Thanks much!

Overall things look relatively good. 2 promotions in four years in a top consulting firm. A 710 on your GMAT. An excellent start.
but even with this excellence, the question is: what makes you different? what makes you more passionate? what makes you better? And in your quick post I didn't have enough info to really dig deep here. But it's the thing to think about when you apply.

As for "suggesting Business schools" I'd be happy to.. but I need to know a bit more about your goals and preferences.

You have the numbers to apply to actually any of the Top 20 schools you like... the Top 5-10 will be tougher for you than most folks given the applicant pool you come from, and you really have to find something outstanding to get accepted to one of those. But I think if you apply to a good mix of 4-5 schools in the top20, plus one safety school, that would be in general an appropriate strategy for you.
