Hi,
I am planning to apply for 2018-20 batch and would like to have your insight on the kind of colleges that would best suit my profile.Following is a brief overview of my resume:
Nationality- Indian
Gender- Male
Xth- 92.4%
XIIth - 90.25%
Undergrad- B.E. in Power Engineering from Jadavpur University (Best Ranked in my State and ranked within the top 20 Engineering colleges in the country). (CGPA- 8.37/10 which would roughly be 3.4/4 in US scale)
TOEFL- 112
GMAT- Yet to take
Other Courses:
1. Business Specialization Course - Wharton Online
2. Entrepreneurship Specialization Course- Wharton Online
Work Exp
1. Worked as an Associate Applications Developer with Oracle Financial Services (Oct 2014-2016) being a core part of the ethical hacking team.
2. Currently the Founder of my own Ed-tech startup. ( 4 months- present)
Volunteer Experience - Involved for 3 years (2011-2014) with a local non-profit organization teaching underprivileged children.
Extra C:
1. Event Co-ordinator at the Annual Cultural fest of my University.
2. Formed my own dance-troupe during college and have won various inter college dabce events.
3. Participated and won in various intra-school and inter school events (debate, science events etc.)
Highlights in my Resume:
- The training course after my 3rd year in college (from National Power Training Institute) changed my career path where the turbines and boilers seemed to have a less impact on me than the softwares that managed the load distribution across the state. This experience, coupled with a project that I had worked on in my final year made me realize that I would be more interested to work in an IT field than the one in my undergrad majors.
- I was a co-founder of a freelancing company during my college years (unregistered) aimed at providing tech solutions to small scale businesses.
- I recently took the Common Admission Test (CAT) examination, the entrance exam to Indian B-schools. I achieved a percentile score of 99.29 with admits from quite a few IIMs.
I am planning to take up GMAT in the next 4-5 months and would like to aim for the top 10 B-schools in USA (Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, Booth, Sloan). It would be great if you can mention a target score for these schools and also the realistic chances fir me to get through to these places ( or the best possible colleges that I can aim for with my profile.)
