Vik,

How were your grades as both an undergrad and graduate student? Was your work experience purely technical or did you interact with clients and have more business-related responsibilities?

Hi Linda,

Thanks for the reply.

Experience in nutshell :-

6 years all consulting experience on various clients in Mails & Logistic area , Online search.
Client interaction is all the time and work closely with the management team.
Last2 .5 years has been more leading managing roles on client side :-
1) Leading a operation team ( 6 months)
2) Leading a development team ( 1 year)
3) Project Manager and Delivery lead for all minor works ( 1 year)

Grades:-
Under grade: 70 %
Graduate is around the same.

I am not sure this will help or not, But i am also done certification in Prince2 Project management methodology


I have couple of questions, if you can answer that would be great :-

1) What are chances for getting into the colleges like INSEAD or ISB ?
2) Can you suggest other one year colleges (in the same tier)?
3) I am planning to do MBA in 2009 July session or Jan 2010 , I have a year from now, What kind of experience I should gain to help getting admission in MBA and post MBA as well.


Regards

Vikrant

Thanks for the additional information. To answer your questions:

1) You have a competitive profile for INSEAD, particularly if your work took place in a multi-national environment.
2) Cornell and London Business School both have 15-month programs. Also check out IMD.

Linda Abraham
