3. Part-Time Columnist for leading financial newspaper

Leadership Experience:
1. Organised India's largest debating event-45 colleges partaking
2. Started Entrepreneurship Cell in college
3. Head of debating, social service & corporate communication in college.
4. In-Charge of college cultural-festival

Research:
1. Worked on a research paper on "Inclusive Banking Technologies" & stood 5th globally with 70 B Schools like INSEAD, Chicago GSB partaking.
2. Worked on a research paper on 3G Spectrum auctioning in India.

Extra-Curricular

Dear Vaibhav,

You appear to be academically strong and have some interesting things. However, you did not note any professional full-time work experience only internship experiences. As such, you will be competing for a limited number of seats for folks with no work experience post-bachelor's degree. I would suggest working a couple of years before applying as many other Indian candidates will have similar profiles to you with exceptional work experience. Other than that, you did not note anything unique or interesting in your background. It would be good for you to find a personal experience or perhaps take a job that will provide unique experiences compared to other Indian candidates.

Good luck,
Lisa
