Hi,
Would be great if you could evaluate my chances for Columbia's Early Decision for the class starting Sep 2013.
Profile Info:
Indian Male/25 years old/non-IT - engineering + finance background
Education:
B Tech in Production Engineering (2.9/4 GPA from an NIT - one notch below the IITs; topper of the class had a 3.4; so in that context 2.9 is not all that bad?)
Cleared 2 levels of CFA; Would be done with 3 levels at the time of application.
GMAT: 720 (q48, v41)
Work Experience:
18 months as an engineer in Tata Motors - responsibilities were in installation and commissioning of a new project at two different locations in India. Led teams of 200+ operators.
28 months (by the time I start MBA) as a sell-side analyst covering the Indian auto sector.
Extracurricular activities:
Plenty in college - Convener of college tech fest, chief editor of magazine, secretary of hostel etc.
After college - Nothing. Been busy with CFA etc. First job was north of 72 hours a week (which is responsible for a rapid learning experience)
Story: Applying to Columbia to fulfill my goal of running a long term value fund focused on Indian equities. Have been working on this goal right since my under-graduation and believe I can bring out a clear idea of what i want from my career and how Columbia is the place to do it in my essays.
