Hello
Can you please evaluate my profile and assess my chances of getting admitted to one of the following B - schools?
First choices
HEC
Cranfield
RSM
Second choices
Warwick
ESADE
My profile is as follows:
Personal:
Indian, Male, 29 years, Married.
Current location - Europe
GMAT:
Score - 640
Quant - 47
Verb - 32
Educational background
10th and 12th grade - 87%, English medium schools.
UG - Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communications with 65% from a Rank 30 University in India
Professional Exp:
Almost 6 years of experience as a software engineer in a Top tier firm in India. Experience in Banking and Financial services domain.
Some highlights of my career:
- 3.5 years of International experience, working onsite as a lead Software Engineer for a Swiss Bank
- promoted after first two years of my job, high chances of promotion in the next cycle
- awarded twice by my company. 'Kudos' award at offshore and 'Rising Star of the Quarter', Q3 2009 at onsite
- first onsite assigment as lead co-ordinator for a development project.
- trained and mentored more than 40 new associates while at offshore
- developed an e-learning site for our company's internal learning program
Extra- Curricular:
- I attended professional courses in painting and Indian music while at school
- District level swimmer
- Won prizes in sports(football) and other extra curriculars in UG college
- School captain for consecutive 4 years. Lead school to victory in inter-school parade
- Organized social events in my current company
- Member of Orator's Club
- Amateur photographer
- Taking foreign language classes(German)
Application Essays and Recommendations:
- I can get strong recommendations from my current client contacts/managers.
I had targetted a 700 in my GMAT, but the verbal section did not go well. Still waiting for my AWA scores. Hope it will be above 4.0.
I am interested in a career in Management Consulting post MBA. I have heard that Cranfield is famous for its focus in consulting and HEC for entrepreneurship. I still need to research on the full time programs for RSM and SDA Bocconi. I have also kept Warwick and ESADE as my backup schools, but considering the declining popularity of Warwick and economic conditions in Spain, i am a little apprehensive.
It would be of much help to me if someone can give some feedback on my admission chances to the schools mentioned - Competetive, Stretch.
Thanks in advance,
Swagata
