Hello
Can you please evaluate my profile and assess my chances of getting admitted to one of the following B - schools?
First choices
IMD
Cambridge
HEC
Cranfield
RSM
Second choices
Warwick
ESADE
My profile is as follows:
Personal:
Indian, Male, 29 years, Married.
Current location - Europe
GMAT:
Score - 680
Quant - 47
Verb - 40
Educational background
10th and 12th grade - 87%, English medium schools
Special - Topper in my school in 12th grade. Scholarship for attaining high percentages in 10th and 12th
UG - Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communications with 65% from a Rank 30 University in India
Professional Exp:
Almost 6 years of experience as an IT consultant in a Top tier firm in India. Experience in Banking and Financial services domain.
I think my professional exp will be my strongest point, some points:
- almost 3.5 years of International experience, working onsite as a lead Software Engineer for a Swiss Bank
- promoted after first two years of my job, high chances of promotion in the next cycle
- awarded twice by my company. 'Kudos' award at offshore and 'Rising Star of the Quarter', Q3 2009 at onsite
- first onsite assigment as lead co-ordinator for a development project.
- trained and mentored more than 40 new associates while at offshore
- developed an e-learning site for our company's internal learning program
- currently working as lead Software Engineer in the Bank's Trade management domain.
Extra- Curricular:
- I attended professional courses in painting and Indian music while at school
- District level swimmer
- Won prizes at sports(football), singing competitions in UG college
- School captain for consecutive 4 years. Lead school to victory in inter-school parade
- Organized social events for my company
- Member of Orator's Club
- Amateur photographer
- Taking foreign language classes.
Application Essays and Recommendations:
- Preparing essays
- I can get strong recommendations from my current client contacts/managers.
It would be of much help if i receive some feedback on my admission chances to the schools mentioned. Should i try to increase my GMAT score? Engage in more social activity? As i really can't do much about my low UG scores.
Also kindly recommend other reputed European B schools where my case will be competetive.
Thanks in advance,
Swagata
