Urgent: Profile Evaluation required!

by Aarti.Sal » Tue Apr 22, 2014 11:07 am
Hello,

I would like my profile to be evaluated. I want to know my chances of getting into a good Bschool. I am currently aiming for Wharton, Stern, McCombs, Kelley. I am yet to take the GMAT and I will be taking it by September.I expect my score around 720-750. I am an engineer by qualification and currently working. The following is my profile. I would like to know which are the Bschools I could target for MBA in Finance.
Education:
10th Std: 87
12th Std: 84
Engineering: 66% in overall of 4 years with 72% in the last year. My degree certificate reads it as a distinction. I have done my engineering from the top engineering college in Mumbai.
Extra Curricular: I have organised many events in college which went on to become a major hit and was continued next year also for the fest. Also I was the PR head of the college committee. Attended various workshops. I have written 2-3 research paper and one of them was selected in the IEEE international conference. I had presented this paper.I am also a part of a NGO where I help them with digital media marketing.
Work Experience: I have completed two years in a top investment bank(JPMorgan) and I plan to apply for the next fall which would make it three when I go to pursue my mba. (I started working in 2012 and will be applying for fall 2015). I hold the designation of a Technology Analyst. I will also be completion in masters degree that is offered by my company.
CFA: I am a CFA level two candidate.

I would be taking the GMAT in the first week of September. Kindly evaluate my profile and suggest the list of Bschools I could look at!
Appreciate your help!

I think your list is good for the reason that it spans across the rankings, giving you a couple of reach schools and a couple of "safety schools." The Indian applicant pool is deep, but b-schools love smart engineers, and your work experience in a bulge bracket bank in the US will really differentiate you in your pool for sure. The CFA will impress as well. One of the most important things about a successful b-school application is the post MBA vision and how you will leverage your past experience to achieve it. You didn't go into much detail in your post, but make sure you spend some quality self reflection time figuring out why you want to go to b-school and why you want to work in your chosen career path going forward. We are good at helping clients pull it all together, so let us know if we can be helpful.
