Hi,
I have been applying to a couple of school in R1. Before proceeding any further, I'd want an opinion whether I am heading in the right direction.
Here's my profile.
GPA: 8.45/10
GMAT: 680 (Q: 48 V: 35)
Professional Exp: 4+ years in one of India's biggest IT companies
Role/Responsibilities: Working as a technology consultant for Middle East & UK clients in Retail Enterprise Services. Have sound knowledge in ERP tools & UNIX. Also, regularly engaging in client interactions, preparing business documents, leading teams, and mentoring associates.
Entrepreneurial Exp: Started 2 companies while in college - 1. Education Institution and 2. Internet Marketing. Responsibilities included analyzing competitor landscapes, and designing and executing strategic marketing and operational plans to increase customer base.
Extra-curricular: Active in music since 2002. Have 2 albums in my name. Toured throughout India, participating in biggest festivals. Collaborated with biggest names from Bollywood.
Community Service: Involved in voluntary teaching during high/school college. Currently member of Cognizant Outreach Program, responsible for enhancing education opportunities at under-resourced govt. schools
I have a call from Simon. Been planning to apply at Tepper & Kenan-Flagler. And a couple of colleges in Canada/Europe.
Another query which I have is regarding my undergraduate degree. I have a 3 years bachelor degree. Will that pose a hindrance? I have seen most US colleges are stringent about a 4 year degree, although a couple gave give that a pass.
Hoping to hearing from you soon.
Thanks and regards.
Abhi

Hello,
So it sounds like the schools you are targeting are appropriate based upon the limited info I have here; are you saying you have an acceptance from Simon or?? I think Tepper and UNC are decent options thus far... it will be important to demonstrate leadership where possible; community experiences and/or extracurricular activities would be a plus; the entreprenuerial ventures COULD be interesting, but depends on how much you learned and what became of them etc.
In terms of the 3-year bachelors, it's good to verify with each school, as some may say 4-year OR EQUIVALENT, recognizing that standards and specifications vary by country etc.
Let us know how else we can help!

Hi JenK,
By call I mean interview call.
What I am worried about is that whether a Tepper or a UNC would end up being too ambitious with the profile I have. I am interested in transitioning to strategy/operations consulting.
Thanks.

Gotcha. If you really do a great job on the applications/essays/recs/interview, I would still think UNC is in reach and potentially Tepper too. Good luck, let us know how we can help!
