Hi
A very good day to all
I would be very thankful if anyone could respond to my query's .
I wanted certain help in order to make my candidacy fit for colleges which i intend to apply in 2015 for class of 2018.Yes it's a long way from now but i think i am a very average indian male(with respect to indian applicant pool) and in order to compete with the very best i have to be the best.
my shortlist colleges are HBS,WHARTON, STANFORD GSB,INSEAD,MIT SLOAN and LBS.
brief profile:
indian male 25 yrs
Xth : 87%
XIIth: 73%
undergrad : 74% BSC nautical science IGNOU,DELHI (distance learning program)
I am a certified navigating deck officer holding a 2nd mate certificate of competency awarded by shipping ministry of india.
1)Presently working as a 2nd officer with a hongkong based shipping company.I specialize on chemical tanker trade(shipping and logistics)
Work exp: 5.5 yrs till may 2013
I have a experience of working on ships trading worldwide and working with multinational crew.Some of the charterers i have worked are renowned ones like Shell,BP,chevron.
more on work front i have few interesting story's that could highlight leadership qualities.
2)During my undergrads i was working on ship as cadet and have earned my certificate of competency by the govt of india on completion of my seatime so i can very well explain how it works and why a distance learning undergrad degree.
3) i am now switching over to management side and for this i have enrolled at XLRI jamshedpur,India for its general management program which is basically a Exec-PGDM. coming to XLRI now it is one of the prestigious b-school in the country so, i guess i would be now better of with the academic front displaying my abilities.The program is a regular one year and by May 2014 i would be passing out.I intend to take operation-SCM and logistics as my specialization.
4)would work for next two years in fmcg/SCM sector and apply for FALL 2016 entry.
5)In the mean time also thinking about some online certification programs to go for.please could you suggest what should i choose keeping that in view my essays and post mba goals would be centered towards operation/SCM.
extracurricular:
1)worked for an NGO(in local community so not that renowned )as a voluntary teacher for a period of 9 months.
2)some certificates of participation in other co curricular activities but all at school level.
GMAT score: 630(Nov 2012)would be retaking in 2014 so target score would be 730+.
Preparing to write a book as well.so hopefully i would able to complete before i apply and could showcase it as well.
i would like your help as to what else i could do and what areas should i work on to be accepted by the best. i can certainly go the extra mile for these schools.
please provide feedback about my choice of schools and seeing the average they select my fit as well
thanks.
