Hi,
I plan to apply in 2010 (though will probably also give a shot in one or two schools in 2009).
ethnicity - Indian male
Bachelor's - 8.3/10 (Top Engg. college in India)
Master's - 9.5/10 (Top Engg. college India)
(passed out ranked second in branch)
GMAT - expect 700+
Work ex -
9 months in automobile industry. Product development role.
1 year 2 months (so far) in analytics consulting with a US based market research and marketing consulting firm. Role - design advanced statistical models to address various marketing issues for Fortune 100 firms. Though have worked with businesses in Asia, N.America and Europe, the kind of work I do involves minimal client facing at my level.
Extra curricular -
Was the captain of my hostel quiz team in college
Participated in dramatics and literary events.
Been involved in many hostel activities in college. Awarded a trophy in recognition for that
Opened a quiz club in high school.
Havent done research yet, but I want to apply to schools like Stanford, Chicago, Ross.
How does my profile look, atleast for a top 20 school, if not a top 10 school?My worry is the dramatic shift in my work ex - from manufacturing industry to the service sector. Will this be a big deal breaker?
