Request for Profile Evaluation

by mbaFall2010 » Mon Sep 21, 2009 1:32 am
Hi,
I'd really appreciate if you could evaluate my profile
GMAT : 750 ; AWA : 5.0
Work Ex : 2 years before I join B school.
GPA : 8.6/10
Extra Curriculars : Volunteered & Participated in a large number of activities in college fests etc, but not been involved in any one activity for a long time.

I'm working with one of the best IT companies in the world, however, I haven't had any opportunity to demonstrate any leadership skills.
I graduated from one of the second tier engineering colleges in India with a degree in Computer Science.
I'm interested in Marketing,Consulting and General Management courses

The schools I'm targeting are as below:
Johnson
Darden
Kellogg
Kenan Flagler
Georgia Tech
Goizueta
Tepper

Do I stand a realistic chance at these schools?
Also, are there any b schools that may give me a scholarship? Would you recommend that I apply to some additional schools? If so, which schools would you suggest?

Thanks in anticipation.

I think you have a shot at Kellogg, Darden, and Johnson because your academic stats are stellar, but your work experience is on the low side. If you wait an additional year your chances at these programs would be excellent. You are more competitive at the other schools with Carnegie Mellon probably being the best fit. Yes you do have chances for scholarships at these MBA programs. Also consider Duke, Emory, and UT.

Best,
Linda
