Profile evaluation for Indian Manufacturing Guy

[Thesaintonwheels]

hi team.

[99Colleges: MBA Admission]

Hi Thesaintonwheels,

Although your GMAT score is slightly less than some of your target schools, you shouldn't fret over it if you can write a solid application. And, if you're applying in R2 this year, there isn't much time left to re-take the test.

What matters a lot in the application are signs of leadership, curiosity, impact, problem-solving, and the like in, mainly, your career. From what you've mentioned, you seem to have some of these ingredients to reflect upon in your application. Execute it well and you can have a shot at some of the schools in your target list, though MIT and Kellogg will be tough. And, last, your work-ex is bit less-represented in B-schools in general, which is a positive sign.

Hi team,

I would be very thankful if you guys can evaluate my profile.

I have worked with automobile companies based out of Japan and Europe for launching our products in their market.I have been recognized and appreciated few times at work. Always ranked in top 10% at my workplace.

I have never worked outside India but I have worked with teams from Japan and few European countries.


Extra-Curricular:

College: Good extra-curriculars. Managed college fest, part of publicity team, founded quizzing club.

I am interested in Operations Management.

Target schools:MIT Sloan, Kellogs, Ross & Tepper.

Are these schools over-ambitious for my profile?

Thanking you in anticipation.

Not necessarily, with a great application (that is really key, for most applicants in general, but for someone with a profile like yours in particular), but as an Indian applicant you could always benefit from a higher GMAT score. Additionally, I am not sure I understood from what you wrote what your career curve has been like? That could be of importance.

I would say you are reaching high with the schools you mentioned but that certainly does not have to mean they are out of reach, just that I am not sure I understood your career and the different aspects of it well enough to be able to give you a clear cut answer.
