Hi Experts,

Need your feedback on my profile and suggestions on MBA program shortlisting.

Profile
Indian Male (Engineering background; Non IIT; working with top tier IB)
GMAT : 760 (Q50 V42)
Work Experience : Completed 3 years (should be 50 months by the time I target to join a program i.e. Aug 2014)
Working with J.P. Morgan India since Jan'11 (Fixed Income Structuring Team (Asia) since Apr'12 and Equity Strategy prior to that)
Deloitte Consulting (Jun'10- Dec'10)
Summer Internships with HSBC India and SMC (leading brokerage house) during undergrad years
Certifications : CFA Level 3 candidate
2 Modules of PRMIA (Risk Management)
Extra Curricular : Currently associated with a Govt. of India sponsored cultural / business collaboration project
Co-founder and President, Entrepreneurship Development Cell at Undergrad School
Vice President, Cultural Committee
Undergrad : Computer Engineering, Delhi University (65% aggregate; ~75%ile)

I plan to pursue a career in S&T, Asset Management post MBA. I think targeting top notch programs like Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, etc. would be too ambitious and hence plan to take a shot at the next tier of MBA programs such as those of Johnson, Darden, Tuck, Ross, Anderson, etc.

Feedback and Suggestions appreciated !

Hi sinha86,

Great job on your GMAT score! That's quite impressive and I'm sure you worked hard for it! Overall, your profile is quite strong between your work experience, your academic components, and your extracurricular experience. Your work experiences specifically ties very well to your story - it not only shows you have a strong analytical and qualitative component from consulting but also that you made significant strides to move to the industry you were passionate about.

The programs you have listed are great programs but some are better for your goals than others. For example, Darden belongs on the list. UCLA Anderson - I think there would have to be a discussion around that. In other words, between 4 and 16, there are a lot of great options for you specifically and getting to that list would benefit from a conversation around what's most important to you.

On a side note, I actually think Wharton would be a great "stretch" school for you. Your GMAT is exceptional and your work experiences differentiate you from other Indian applicants which would work in your favor. I think you're selling yourself a little short by automatically ruling out Wharton.

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Good luck!
