Hi all,
I want to ask you guys a question:
I am a B.Tech from IIT (2007 Batch, JEE AIR 1328-99.2 percentile, IITs are India's best engineering college). 7.14/10 GPA. (2.86 on a scale of 4)
I work in an well known Investment Bank's Equity research(joined 2 months back) - I work for an international team(China Internet). I report to a VP(Stanford Wharton alumnus-shld get a reco frm him).
Prior to that i worked at a research firm(15 months) - did a lot of macroeconomic research on India. I am appearing for CFA level 2 in June this year.
Have heavy extra curriculars like heading a college fest, starting a campus magazine, Governor of literary society, General Secretary of my Hostel and many other leadership positions at college.
Have scored 99 percentiles(99.7, 99.3) twice in CAT- Entrance exam for India's best B Schools IIMs. Have couple of IIM admits from lesser known IIMs(waiting for the big three to call me) h
ave an widely cited internationally published technical paper to my name.
Have done couple of research projects at IIMs during my IIT days. I am yet to write GMAT(targeting 750).
Shld i apply in 2010 fall or shld wait for one more year to apply in fall 2011(keeping in view i recently changed my company and dont have good acads). I am looking for top 10-15 B schools at present.
Can CFA make up for my below average acads?
