Hi Stacy,

Just needed an opinion regarding admissions for an MBA course (specially for INSEAD).Would really appreciate if you could evaluate my profile. I will be applying for the september session 2013. Below are my details;

GMAT - 680 (Q;49 V:35)

Degree: BENG (Hons) from a top UK university

Languages: Hindi (fluent), English (FLuent), German (Beginner)

Work Ex: 4 Yrs till date

After graduation started off as a System Design Engineer with a rail company in UK. Worked for 2 yrs on numerous projects.

Afterwards moved back to India and and am now working as a Technical Associate for a leading IT company in India.

Extra-Curriculars:
Always been a keen sportsman. Played state level cricket in India. Played for a club in England. Captain of School and district cricket teams. Also curently the captain of my corporate cricket team.

I am a keen musician. Currently have a band of my own and throughout participated in music events.

At work, I am part of the employee engagement and entertainment team, where we continuously organize events and team building activities for employees.

Also I am currently working with an NGO during my free time where I teach cricket to underprivileged children.


The reason why I want to do an MBA is primarily to switch to a Finance job.

Please help me out here.

Thanks.

Hi nitish_MBA,

Thanks for posting. The biggest challenge you will face is differentiating yourself from the crowded IT field. I recommend you read this case study of how one Indian engineer was accepted into Columbia, Tuck, and MIT:

Remember that admissions teams are looking to cultivate future leaders, so any leadership experience oyu can discuss will be important. Right now, I do not see any reason why you would not be accepted, but there is nothing that stands out saying why you would be admitted.

Cheers,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
