Hello,
I would like to apply in 2010 for MBA in Finance from TOP 15 B-schools of US or TOP 10 internationally (excluding US).
Request you to please evaluate my profile and determine how would my profile stand in face of stiff competition.
A run through my profile:
class X : 79%
class XII : 72.9%
B.E. (Mechanical) : 73.6% (From one of the Top 10 Tech Universities in India),Topper and 2nd topper had 86% else were below 80%.
GMAT : 710/5
I am a mechanical Engineer by degree but I have 1.5 years of experience in IT sector working for one of the top 3 IT companies of India. I was made Configuration Team Leader (CTL) within 4 months of joining the company. As CTL I had the additional responsibility to act as ADMIN for Technologies used in my account.As an Assistant System Engineer I have had frequent interactions and presentations with Client. I have also offered on-site support to their system.
My extra-curricular front is average at best and apart from sponsoring a child to take care of his education and well being and some voluntary teaching assignments on one to one basis, there is not much to add.
I intend to improve on that front in next 1.5 years.
Apart from these, I also volunteered for Teach India Initiative from Times Of India but was never asked to teach.
I am also a Level 1 candidate for CFA june'09 and I'm determined to clear till Level 2 before I join any B-school.
However I have some queries:
1) I intend to move back to Mechanical Engineering field mostly due to family reasons (I need to support them financially a bit which I am not able to do in my low salary in IT sector). It would also allow me to pursue my hobby (Shooting) which I had to abandon due to its high cost.
I would like to know how will it be viewed during the application process,i.e.,from Mech ->IT ->Mech?
2) Although I have helped several children in their education by gifting them books or paying their fees since my college days, I have never kept any record for the same and I don't have any proof in terms of Certificates to show for it (Gathering them was never an intention any way).
So how could I prove my involvement?
Apart from these, I would request you to suggest any other areas of improvement that you find is lacking in my profile.
Thanks.
