Hi
I am a 25 year old female from India and I am planning to apply to B-schools for Fall 2013. I'd appreciate any insights you can provide on my profile from applications point of view. Here's my profile info:
Academics:
- GMAT 2nd attempt 730 (Q48/V42), 1st attempt 640 (Q45/V33)
- Bachelor of Engineering from University of Pune (66% Aggregate, 71% Final Year, distinction)
Work Experience:
- Working in a top International Oil and Gas company since September 2008 as an engineer
- Have worked in India (2 years), the Netherlands (1 year) and Nigeria (since Feb 2012 to present)
- Even within the technical role, I have a demonstrable leadership experience of coordinating and leading projects with small teams (4-5 people) with significant impact on the organisation (e.g. coordinated a geographically challenging project that was first of its kind in our India center, leading to more such projects being sent our way)
- Have received 3 special recognition awards for work so far
Extra Curricular:
- In company, pioneered and launched various employee health benefit activities such as awareness campaigns and sports events
- Organizing secretary for Society of Automotive Engineers collegiate chapter
- Captain of college basketball team
My target schools are HBS, Stanford, LBS, Kellogg and Sloan. I do realize that I have a compelling work profile but I'm worried about the community service bit of my extra curricular. I have very little experience in that area. I am wondering how adversely will this affect my chances in my target schools.
Appreciate your response.
Regards,
Tejal
