Schools of my reach - please advice!

by rajendrabnk » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:06 am
Hello,
I took GMAT on Oct 1st,2010. I got 680(Q48,V35 - Both 82%). I would be very helpful if anyone could suggest B schools I could apply to.


For now, I am looking at

1. LBS - MSc in Management prog
2. Duke MIM
3. Yale SOM
4. Stanford
5. IESE, Spain

Things I can sell:


Education: 10th - 98.24%
12th - 93.83%
Btech: 7.54/10 - Reputed college in India (Indian Institute of Technology) - I am right now in senior year at
college

Work exp: 0 except for the internship I have done for 6 weeks

Social work: I have been a coordinator for National Service scheme at my college and have led a team of 13 volunteers for a camp. Also, I have worked with an NGO called SEED which has established a school for children of those convicted in jails.

Leadership : I have conducted(this year) Technical festival of my department at my college leading a team of 15 coordinators and more than 20 volunteers. I am currently a core committee member of Cultural Festival of my college leading a team of 28 coordinators and more than 50 volunteers.

Team work: I have been coordinator of Techfest and Cultural fest in previous years. I have worked in teams for the projects that i have done.

Letters of recommendation: Only from professors who have taught me.

I highly recommend you to get at least a couple of years full-time work experience under your belt first!!
