Hi,
my profile:
Turkish/male/28 years
Bachelors of Science: Industrial Engineering at Middle East Technical University (Top 5 schools in Turkey) GPA: 3.5 /Top 5%
Master of Science in Automotive Engineering: GPA 3.1/ Ranked 1st among
graduates- Hard program
Work Exp: I have worked in a subsidary of Ford Motor Company in Turkey for 5 years.
My positions:
1,5 years of Executive Asistant to Plant Manager- Manufacturing Experience
2 years of Manufacturing (Financial) Controller - First team leader experince & Finance
1 year of experince Business Strategy Office - 2nd team leader experince
Recently started Internal Control of After Sales and Engineering Functions
(Pls note that during 5 years, I have completed my cumpolsory military service, that's why it makes four and half, not five)
Awards:
Ranked 13. in unversity entarance examination
I think I will write some charity functions here.
Extra Curriculars:
- Basketball
- Cars - I am fond of cars
- Charity Functions
Score Point:
GMAT Verbal: 42 / 95%
Quantitavie 49 / 88%
Overall 740 / 97%
AWA 4.5 / 42%
Although, I am not a native speaker, I did not take TOEFL. Franky, I did not have time to prepare and enter it, it is already time for round 2 applications.
Target School:
HBS, Wharton (dream school), Tepper, INSEAD, Sloan, Colombia
Questions:
1- Although, my GMAT verbal and quantitaive scores are good, AWA is not thrilling. I believe the reason is that, in the exam, I could not manage time and I could not do proofreading. I am wondering whether this score will be a problem for me?
I do not have TOEFL score to illustrate that I had a good score in writing section in it.
In one of the forms, somebody suggested to retake the GMAT, but just focus on writing. (Maybe, not even answer Q/V questions right)
Once I got a higher score, (I believe that I can) write this in the esaay.
Admission committee will regard the highest score.
Do you agree with this approach?
2- I did not take TOEFL. I am counting on the business school's admission criteria.
It says that applicants, graduated from a university at which all lectures are thought in English, are exempted from TOEFL.
Do you think that this would be a disadvantage for me?
3- I just recently started to work on the essays. Do you have hints to accelerate this process?
4- Could you please evalutate my application overall?
5- Do you advise to apply to other schools as well?
I am very open to suggestions.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
many thanks,
