Dear Lisa,
I am applying to INSEAD, CEIBS, ROTMAN, HKUST, NTU & NUS for Sep 2010 intake. I might also apply to 1 - 2 US Schools but my main focus is on INSEAD. My profile:
->Indian non-IT Male, 27 years.
-> 4 year course-B.Des in Industrial Design from the top college (IIT) in India.
->Total 4 years work experience (till sep'10) with 2 years full time experience in Mainland China as an Industrial Designer.
->2 summer internships in europe (france & Holland) in Virtual Reality.
->Social work- I have periodically donated to organization which cure diseases through Yoga and Meditation. I am also sponsoring education for 1 underprivileged child. I have taught Yoga to my colleagues at company.
->Third language- Can speak intermediate Mandarin (learnt through selfstudy in china) apart from HINDI & ENGLISH.
->Best performer in Design team at company for straight 2 years. Have 4 successfully launched products in market (India & Europe).
->In Jan 2009 I launched an Export-Import Pvt. Ltd. company in India with my 2 colleagues. The company is in bad shape right now- one promoter already resigned due to personal reasons. Another partner is not serious about going forward. This situation primarily forced me to go for MBA now.
->In college I have won several medals. Have contested in student general body elections. I was elected as one of the Student Hostel's Secretaries.
->2nd attempt-GMAT - 690 (Verbal-33, Quant-50), overall GPA - 3.03 (last 2 year's UG GPA- 3.6)
->My focus is on entrepreneurial track. I am aiming for self employment through new ideas/ventures/entrepreneurship.
->I have decent recommendations.
Kindly advice about my chances of admission to the schools I am aiming for. Also, should I aim for high ranked schools in US, given my low GMAT score?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Best Regards!!
