Hi,

Could you help me evaluate my profile? I want to know what I can expect.
I'm a 24 year old guy from India.
-----------
GMAT:
GMAT score of 730 (96%) with 4.5 for AW, written in December 2011.
Verbal: 39/87%
Quantitative: 50/92%
Analytical writing 4.5/38%
-----------
Undergraduate Degree:
I completed B.Tech Mechanical Engineering at National Institute of Technology, Calicut. (2012 batch)
I have a CGPA of 6.56.
----------
Additional Education:
Certificate in Business Analytics at Indian School of Business, Hyderabad (Will complete in March 2015)
----------
Work Experience:
Business Analyst at Bajaj Auto Limited since November 2012
I've worked with Logistics to develop the logic and an application that optimizes truck filling and scheduling.
I work closely with the top management to track KPIs by developing dashboards.
I've taken initiatives for income tax filing digitization that has saved the company a large amount of money and time.
----------
Additional Information (I guess this is where I get to put in all the random trivia):
I'm one of the youngest candidates to gain admission into the CBA program at ISB.
I travel alone quite a bit. I feel it's a meditative experience.
I've had to deal with existential crisis that led to my less-than-perfect performance in college.
I scored the highest marks in computer science in my country in higher secondary school.
I draw portraits. I draw portraits well.
----------

I want to take an MBA degree in Operations Management. I'm targeting schools like Tepper, Wharton, Krannert, etc. Can I aim for these schools? What are my chances? Would you recommend any other schools?

Is there any additional information I can give to help you assess me better?

Thanks.
Of all the places to get a typo, I got it in my username...

Hi there,

Thanks for posting. Nice job on the GMAT, and nice mix of the 'random trivia' as you call it. ;) That said, your academics do sound pretty low compared to applicants at the schools you've mentioned, and your work experience is shorter than average, so it will be important to emphasize the quality of what you've done over a more limited time, and that could make a difference. Your overall story as to why you want the degree and your career vision can also make an impact, as can involvement/community experience. It's possible those schools you've mentioned could be within range, likely with the exception of Wharton.

Good luck and keep us posted!
