Hi,
I am an aspirant for Fall 2016 and am seeking help in evaluation of my profile. Will be grateful if you could give me a fair assessment of whether I have a shot at some of the preferred programs of my choice.
My profile summary:
1) 4+ years in the Analytics arm (Financial Planning & Analysis) of a computing behemoth/fortune top 50 firm (awarded). Currently managing a team and have served a couple of short stints abroad; 1 yr as sourcing specialist for a mining giant
2) PG in Diploma Management and engineering graduate from top 15 institutes of the country (UG CGPA: 8.2/10 - top 15%); PG CGPA not great - just first class
3) GMAT: 730 (QA: 50; VA:39; IR: 7; AWA: 5.5)
4) Correspondent/Writer at Asia's largest all sports website (awarded)
5) Co-founded an E-Commerce store (1st lesson in how to do a start-up wrong); Co-founder/Featured columnist at a magazine - focusing on firms, markets & global dynamics
6) Captain of the corporate cricket team; member of the corporate football team
7) State merit list in HSC board exams
8) Successfully completed a 4 day Outbound Leadership Course
List of B-schools I am targeting:
INSEAD, Yale, Columbia, Booth, Kellogg, Fuqua, Tuck, Cornell, Darden. Will I be taken for a madman if I force the words 'Wharton or Stanford' out of my lips?
Please let me know where do I exactly stand among the competing group. Will be awesome if you can list the colleges where I may be competitive and also those which may be considered as sweet spots. The 1 yr program will be my first preference. I want to transition to a career in management consulting and eventually start an analytics consultancy firm specializing in providing analytics based research and solutions to sports organizations.
Thanks in advance for your help!
