Hi,
I would like to have your opinion on my profile.
I graduated with a BTech degree from IIT Delhi, which is one of the topmost engineering colleges in India. My GPA was 6.72/10 and I was ranked 28th in a class of 42. I had 3 failing grades in college: one a core engineering course in which i got a 10/10 the second time, a computer science course in which I got an 8/10 the second time and finally a biology elective, which I dint repeat. The first two failing grades were received in the first year. Additionally, my GPA in five Economics electives was 7.83/10 and in all electives was 7.38/10, both of which are above average for my institution. My GPA was dragged down by core engineering courses and the standard deviation of all my grades is pretty high.
I have taken the GMAT thrice:
August 2011- 700, Q 50 V 34, AWA 6.0
September 2012- 720, Q51 V36 AWA 5.5
October 2012- 760, Q51, V41, AWA 6.0
So, my question is how would my academic profile look to the Adcom? Also, I have taken the GMAT thrice. Would the 760 be looked at as an aberration? I also hold the CFA Charter.
I have 4 years experience in macro proprietary trading in US/European Interest Rates. In this role, I was a top 3 US rates trader amongst 100 traders firm wide. My supervisor is now the Global Head of Fixed Income for the firm and I will have a very strong recommendation from him. I currently work as an offshore sell side fundamental equity research analyst at a top India based research house and my client is a bulge bracket Wall Street firm. The level of engagement with the client is very high. I m tracking the 'US Computer Services and IT Consulting' sector in the equity research position. My client's analyst, who I report to, is a Harvard MBA and has been ranked number one in the world for the past 7 years in this sector. Most of my colleagues are already MBAs.
I have also heard how tough it is to for people with IT background to get into an MBA Program. Would that be an issue for me as I am tracking the sector only from a business standpoint and work in a niche pure finance profile? Or should I think of changing my coverage sector?
My target schools are Wharton, Columbia, NYU, Booth & LBS. I am 27 years old.
Thank you.
