Hi
I am originally from Delhi and currently working in London, and am looking to apply for an MBA in the US in the next year or so. I haven't given the GMAT yet, just evaluating my options. What do you guys think my chances are at applying to one of the top 10 MBA schools in the US based on my profile, and what college do you think would be best suited to my profile?
Education: Glasgow University, BSc (Hons)Computer Science, 1st Class Honours
Work Ex: Web Development Intern in Brazil after my 2nd year, working as an Associate-level Business Analyst in an Equities Trading Platform Development IT team in a Bulge Bracket IB since graduating for 2.5 years.
ECs: Student Rep for department for 2 years, debating and trading club member then. I do regular volunteering work at museums and fundraising work for a few local NGOs on the weekends.
I am looking to get into front office IB through an MBA at a top B-school, and I understand that the biggest challenge is my background being too IT-heavy. I am also concerned that my undergrad university name could hold me back since its not got the brand name of the Ivy Leagues in the US or Oxbridge/Imperial/LSE in the UK.
Cheers
