Professional Background:
Work Experience- Currently 2 yrs, Will have 2yrs 10months(i.e almost 3yrs) by the time i join school in Aug 2010.

Quality of experience:
Joined a mid sized IT firm as a programmer trainee. Conscious Switch of career path from software development to Project Management. Worked as the Project Management Officer for a project which was in deep trouble at the time i joined. On successful completion i was promoted to the Project Management Office of an entire delivery unit consisting of 80 such projects within 4 months. Currently working in the Project Management Office for the North American Accounts and majorly responsible for ensuring process compliance & adherence and financial data analysis. (Though i work for a mid sized IT Firm (MNC), my job profile is more to do with general management and nothing to do with software development. Will i be considered a part of the dreaded Indian IT applicant pool?)

Extra Curriculars-
Active part of the CSR mwith a special focus towards children. Mentoring kids from the slums as a part of a mentorship program. Spend festivals like christmas & diwali performing special programs for street children and taken them for picnics. Part of tree plantation drives, clean up drives, environ mental awareness drives,etc.

MBA Aspirations:
Interested in doing an MBA in General Management from a university with good placements. An MBA would help me grow in my current role & give me the authority to take up larger responsibilities.

Could you please give me a lead to colleges i should consider applying to in the U.S. It would be of great help if u cld categorise them as safe, reach & ambitious.

Thanks a lot for the help in advance.

Hi bsandhyav,

Thanks for your post. Congrats on raising your GMAT score! This will certainly help your applications to top ranked programs.

Before I list a few schools for you to consider, I want to address your concern about being grouped into the "Indian IT" applicant pool. As long as you are very clear about your role/job description on your resume this should not be an issue. Often times applicants work for IT companies but have roles that are anything but technical. You will want to emphasize this given your degree in Electronics as the adcom may just assume you have a technical job. I would also suggest strategically using the essay topics to your advantage. Pick examples that will highlight your client management role.

Keep up the extracurricular activities. It's great that you are involved in so many activities. Hopefully you'll have some solid examples from your experiences to use in your essays.

In terms of general management programs, you can't go wrong with the following:

Tuck
Darden
Duke
Fuqua
Ross

I would suggest that you do some research and identify not only what you want to study, but the other factors in choosing where to attend such as location and class size.

Feel free to send your resume to [email protected] for a free assessment of your profile.

Best,

Stacey
