Hi,
Can you evaluate my profile and suggest some improvements as well as target schools for Round 1 applications ?
GMAT - 780 Q50 V47
5 year Masters in Mathematics and Computing (Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi) - Not so good GPA (on the uptrend)
CFA Level 1 candidate - June 2009 (Awaiting results)
Work-ex - 4 years by June 2010.
Working in a growing organization. Domain - consumer lending/Banking. Role - Business Analyst (Risk Management / Data Analytics).
International Work-ex - 1 year in US for a project with a top US bank.
Worked with different facets of banking and in different geographies. On the flipside, I do not have any major managerial experience or a fortune 100 brand name on my resume.
3 summer internships in Korea, Spain and Denmark (10-12 weeks each). travelled extensively and can speak five languages with some degree of competence.
Extra-curriculars - Strong leadership roles in college and some innovative activities outside college. Some community involvement post-college (No-leadership roles). Working on this aspect.
Expectations from MBA - to gain know-how of business, to be part of an effective business network, strong global brand-name that is recognized in the Indian market as well, and the overall experience.
Desired post-mba role - Management role in consumer lending division of any top bank.
Long-term - To start my own consulting practice in the area of credit risk management.
Schools that I am looking at right now include: Tuck, Haas, Yale SOM, INSEAD, London Business School, Kellogg, NYU and Chicago.
Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
Tanksingh
