Interested in applying to-

Kindly let me know what are ambitious and insurance options with respect to my profile. I am keen on pursuing my career in the field of technology management/ RnD management.

Though I have relatively lesser experience (2 yrs post masters experience and 2 yrs of Masters in management @ IISc), I believe my interest areas fall into a niche category and I've been working in the same areas.

Thanks!

Well, first of all, it'll depend if you get that 335 or that 330. That's a huge score differential there. And since you don't yet know it's hard to say.

So far your grades have been great but to really evaluate you I'd need test scores, more info about your job, your extra currics, your volunteer work, your leadership, and anything else you might have.

Best,
JF

Hello Jon,

Thanks for your prompt response.

Post Masters work experience of 2 years as a Research Engineer for a Startup that is into Tech Forecasting and Trend spotting. I am working on coming out with a software product that can forecast tech based on patent data. I manage a team of programmers, UI designers, patent analysts and report to the CEO. The project involves generation of IP and we are in the process of filing a patent as well.

Extracurricular:

1. Won prizes for technical paper presentations at UG level.
2. Martial arts green belt
3. NCC C certificate holder
4. Part of the organizing team for an international conference at IISc.
5. Cultural club members at colleges
6. Played in the department level cricket and TT sports teams at UG and PG
7. Robotics enthusiast - engineered a line follower robot and RC choppers
8. Pro bono teaching of quant and presentation skills at local towns in AP, India
9. Alumni association magazine editor-in-chief and started an e-magazine for my UG college.
10. Written blog posts on social network analysis of FB groups.
11. Won first prize in marketing analytics case study by hp analytics.
12. Won prizes for inter university cultural fests in dance (bollywood).

Interested in applying to-

1. MIT - MSMS 1 yr program
2. Kelloggs 1 yr MBA
3. Johnson 1 yr MBA
4. Goizueta 1 yr MBA

Kindly let me know what are ambitious and insurance options with respect to my profile. I am keen on pursuing my career in the field of technology management/ RnD management.

Though I have relatively less experience (2 yrs post masters experience and 2 yrs of Masters in management @ IISc), I believe my interest areas fall into a niche category and I've been working in the same areas.

My first priority is the MSMS program. Though not being a part of the partner schools and having around 2 yrs of work experience, do you think I can make it ? How about my chances of getting into the other 1 yr MBA programs on getting a 325 on the GRE (pessimistic estimate).

A reply would be highly appreciated.
