2. Used to go to market to apply tenders 1s in a while
3. Salary payment.
4. Day 2 day activity (part time)
5. Taught Maths and science for employee kids

1. Was part of basketball team
2. Had certification in drawing competitions.

1. When I apply will be having 7.5 yrs of exp in IT. Worked on Telecom, health care and petroleum domains.(worked for some of reputed company in the wold)
2. 5yrs worked in NY and moving to London soon.
3. Received awards in companies like best graduate hire, subject matter expert
4. In coming mth I will be shadowing in accounts dept for 2 days and 1 day in supply chain.

With amt of studying that I am doing I am expecting score of 680 - 700.

I do not have an wow factor and nothing different. My main target is stern. I have time to improve my application. Please let me know what I can do to improve my profile.
What business schools should I target.


Long term plan - I have few business ideas but no idea how to go abt it. Also might open the factory Back up.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Smruti,

With more than 6 yrs. of work experience, you are in perfect stage of your career, which mostly b-schools look for with international exposure. The b-schools don't look for "wow factor", rather they stress lot on your leadership qualities, professional achievements & other aptitude. You can try your chances in b-schools by clicking https://www.general-ed.com/chances-of-bschool . On the other hand, you need to skillfully write your applications essays & prepare well for the interviews. For interview tips & preparations, click https://bit.ly/XQVp4s

NYU-Stern would be slightly ambitious. But of course you can make your chances by writing strong application essays & working hard on interview. Having said this, I would suggest you to also target b-schools: Haas, Duke, Darden, Cornell, McCombs, Tepper, Kenan-Flagler, Emory, Rochester-Simon & Smeal.

Feel free to post any other concerns you might have.

Regards,
Yash
