Hi Stacey / Amy,
I am a 30 year old male from India. It would ge great if you can help me evaluate my profile. I am looking to apply to the top 20 b-schools across US, Europe and Asia for fall 2008 programs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following are my details -
*Undergraduate degree - Bachelor of Engineering, majoring in Computer science, GPA 3.9, University of Mumbai, Western India in 1999.
*Won first prize in essay writing competition in college.
*As a personal initiative, designed and developed a stock ticker tape system for National Stock Exchange, India.
*Certifications - 1. Certified Solution Developer from Microsoft Corporation in 2001.
2. Program in Management & Leadership from HBS publishing in 2005 (elearning).
*GMAT - 660 (84 %ile - Q44, V36, AWA 5.5)
*Professional work experience - Total 8 years of work exp working in IT divisions of MNCs like Accenture, Morgan Stanley, Deloitte. Held various positions like Manager, Team Lead, Solution Architect.
*I also have 18 months of international experience working in UK and USA.
*My team also won the best recruitment team award.
Community service - Participated in leprosy eradication camps during high school. Facilitated an event to view cricket match at a local pub to generate revenue for CRY. Participated in corporate social responsibility programs to teach and provide books to underpriviledged children.
Personal interests - Still photography, Calligraphy, Sketching, Travelling.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I come from a middle class family and am the sole breadwinner. Although I do have finances to take care of family expenses while I am studying full time, I would like to definitely avail of scholarships, waivers and assistantships. What are my chances in this respect?
I am fluent in English and two other native languages. Will it help to learn another foreign language like French, Spanish?
All my education has been in English and have spent considerable time in English speaking countries. Can I ask the universities to waive the TOEFL requirement? I don't mind taking the exam, though.
If you can point out some b-schools who would suit my profile, it would be helpful. In case you need any more information, please feel free to ask.
Thanks a million in advance.
Kind Regards.
