Profile Eval: Urgent .

by hopeforharvard » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:45 am
Hello guys,
I'm currently in my 3rd year of engineering at one of the top Anna University colleges in Chennai.
Here is my profile,
10th=98%
12th=95% with highest mark in the country in Comp Science and got a recognition from the CBSE.

College GPA will end up between (7.5-8)/10

GMAT 720(Q 50 V 37)

Internships:
At an investment banking startup,
At one of the top 3 rating companies in the world,
At a big 4 audit firm,
At a Wildlife conservation organization that shared it's initials once with a wrestling company Razz

Extra curriculars:
Club level badminton player,
I also play an instrument,
Quizzer,
raised money for a lot of college events,
Social service includes gathering people for blood donation camps and getting people to pledge their eyes.
Also had a failed startup company Razz

I'm looking at the following programs:
ISB YLP
SP Jain
HBS 2+2
Yale Silver Scholars(chances are minuscule as around 10 students only get admitted each year)
IESE YTP
Booth Early Entry
Stanford Deferred Admission
Wharton Early Candidate

I am also keeping the MiM programs in mind and am considering the following colleges as well:
LBS
IE
HEC
Ross
Duke
Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame
NUS
Also looking at the MPhil Management program at Judge

I'd like you to comment on my profile and provide constructive feedback,advice and what you think my chances are at the above mentioned schools.
If possible I'd like you to suggest a few admission consultants who charge reasonably as I'm going to be funding the whole application process with what I've saved and have no external help from my parents at this point of time.

IMPORTANT:I'd like to know how a GPA of 7.5-8 out of 10 would be viewed by the adcoms.The university follows absolute grading and it is tough to score.

Hey dude,
Well you have lots of good stuff in your profile. Your grades are fine (I would say excellent) so don't worry about that.

Otherwise, you have an impressive amount of excellent internships and some good extra curriculars. Applying to early MBA programs is always a tough endeavor, but I would urge you to simply try. I should add that just as important as the FACTS of your profile is the STORY you will tell - Why do you want to apply now? Why does this make more sense than going for the regular MBA after 3 years work? Why you?

As for the MiM programs, my personal feeling is that unless you have a specific reason to prefer an MiM over an MBA (i.e. you know you immediately wish to begin your career abroad), my feeling is that the MBA is the stronger and more prestigious of the two.

I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions, just drop a line,
Best,
JF
