Hi

Please suggest the chances of my attending any of the Top 20 B-Schools . Here is the brief of my Profile

Indian / Male / 28

B.Tech in Electronics and Communication ( 67%)

GMAT - 710

Work Experience - IT and Telecommunication / 4 years

Companies / Organizations Worked for
- Bharti Airtel
- TCS
- Accenture

Progression from Team Member to Team Lead was pretty quick.

Certifications :
Six Sigma Green Belt
CFA Level - 1
CFA Level - 2 Candidate
Several Certifications from NSE ( National Stock Exchange)

7 months back , i had quit my job at the IT firm that i was working for , to follow my passion for Investments . I had given full time to Stock Market Invetsments that have been working good for me . In the meantime i acquired several certifications that are offered by the NSE (National Stock Exchange). So , i am not sure if this will turn out to be a negative in my case .

Co-curricular Activities - Active participation in Sports at the State Level

Career Goals - Entrepreneurship

Will the B-Schools (here i am talking in General - not necessarily Top 20 B-Schools) consider my leaving the job and working on my own a weak point in my profile ?

Yours views will be highly appreciative .

Would you suggest any Certification like CABM that will make my profile strong enough to be considered .Since i plan to apply next year , if my GMAT is insufficient , then i can work for a better score as well


Thanks & Regards,
VB

Dear VB,

Generally speaking, your profile is very common in the global MBA applicant pool aside from your decision to leave IT and strike out on your own. Since differentiating your application from similar applicants will be critical for you, this decision could work to your advantage if you present it effectively. You need to explicitly address your rationale for leaving your career, what you are currently doing, and how it relates to your future career goals. While I don't think a certification will necessarily add significant value, if these certifications will be important for your future career goals and you have the time to pursue the certifications now, then you should. I don't think your GMAT score is insufficient; it is competitive for any MBA program as it is right around the average for the top MBA programs. The only potential weakness I see is a lack of activities in your community. Since you have the next year to improve your profile, I encourage you to seek out some community involvement, perhaps some leadership opportunities in these activities, to boost your application.

Good luck,
Lisa
