Reality Check for MBA..please advise .

[Ishu16]

Hi ,

I am writing this post in high spirits to get an admit from top business school for fall 2015.

Below is mine complete profile:

Bachelor of Technology-Computer Science Engineering (74%)
Jaypee University of Engineering & Technology

2 Years Experience
Title - Systems Engineer Role: Analyst (Nov-2011 - Present)
Infosys Ltd.,Mangalore/Hyderbad

Project - Apple Production Support
Key Responsibilities:
Client Interaction and trouble shooting the real time issue of software used by 5,700+ users.
Communication and Coordination with teams and clients spread across globe regarding the real time challenges faced.
Support smooth operation of Apple application dealing with financial transaction of the company.
Present report to business teams on the statistics related to Finance group of software supported by us.
Understanding the business and technical functionality and impact of systems on the business of Apple.

Extra Curriculars:

Headed the team of 70 volunteers of CSR activity Infy Model School for under privileged kids in Hyderabad for 6 Months.
Head Coordinator(Training & Placement Cell) in College for 4 months.
Coordinator(Computer Society of India) in College for 6 months.
Event Coordinator(Tech Fest) in College for 2 months.

I am hopeful of getting GMAT score of atleast of 750 as I have succeeded in the mocks of Manhattan GMAT.
Taking up the exam on June - 2014.

Also by the time I would apply I will have 3.5 Yrs of experience.

I am also thinking either to take up CABM certification or Pre- MBA series of UCB Extension school to boost my business knowledge and showcase intellectual capacity and interest in Business related theory to adcoms.
Certainly I will take up one of these certification after GMAT.

Sir could you please answer few of my queries :

1) What should I do from now on to boost my profile and project myself as a unique candidate in IIM category.

2) My Bschool fees would completely depend on loans from banks, hence what all Bschools you would suggest to apply ?

In US will the Bschool with no cosigner loans be feasible for my profile like Fuqua/Darden/Stern/Johnson/Kenan Flagler ?

Awaiting your reply !!


Please help me out in my dilemma to secure an admit into a Top MBA program.

Hey dude,
Thanks for dropping by. So let's start with your questions:

1) Mostly your essays. Your work experience is pretty "normal", and not gonna necessarily be all that impressive. So what makes you unique? What makes you different? What are your goals? What extras do you have?

2) I would say to not approach this in terms of money but more in terms of your MAIN GOAL (i.e. your professional goals). You should rather be asking yourself "Which schools will best help me reach my goals?". Now knowing what your goals are, it's hard for me to say exactly, but basically the general rule is: go the best school you can get into. I can't say where that might be without a GMAT score, but hopefully if you do get your target score, it should be somewhere very nice


Good luck on your test!!!
