Hello All,
Could anyone of you please evaluate my profile.I am targeting for 2014-2016 MBA program.
A brief abstract of my profile.
31 Yrs - Male - Semiconductor Engineering Background
Academics :
Bachelor of Engineering - Electrical Engineering , Osmania University, India
Grade :
8.1/10 - Top 5% University (University ranker) Year 2004
Haven't written GMAT yet, has been scoring consistently 740-760 in Mock tests.
Professional Experience:
7 Years - Semiconductor Industry.Currently working for a Top Semiconductor Industry in Bangalore,India
Responsibilities include a part of HDD and SSD Project Development and interaction with Customers based out of US,Japan or Korea.
1.5 Years - Computer Assembler & co-owner for a Computer Assembly Firm
Voluntary work :
- Worked for AkshayaPatra an NGO in India which serves mid-day Meal.
- Freelance Instructor at few Engineering colleges. Specialize in teaching Digital Electronics,Semiconductors and handle Engineering Projects.Coached around 5 teams with 4 members in each team till now.
- Was instrumental in setting up Semiconductor Lab in my Graduation College with funds from Alumni.
Why MBA ?
Working with my company's Customers on different products gave me a thorough knowledge about the product we manufacture.Being a development Engineer doesn't give me ample opportunities in learning the business,So I chose to do MBA.
I took many of my Company's directors (MBAs from Sloan,Haas etc) as my role models in building the motivation.
Target Schools :
HBS
MIT Sloan
Wharton
Kellogg
I have been discouraged by many for the risk involved in taking up MBA at this point of career (I'm 31!!) and targeting Top schools.Is it 'impossible' to get into Top schools at age 31 ?
