HI 

I am a IT engineer with more that 3 years experience as a software engineer. I want to do an MBA. So far the consultants i have spoken to say i have a basic profile. So my question is how to present your essays so that you stand out? My major focus is ISB

Please evaluate my profile and answer the questions. Thank you.

Profile Synopsis: 

GMAT 710 ( QA: 50 VA 35 IR : 3 )

Graduation : 74% Electronics and Communications Engineering, DCE in 2011

X : 87 XII : 86 

Work Experience : Starting from August 2011 till now : 4 years at a semiconductor company/software . It will be 5 years when the session begins next year.

Extra Curriculars :

- An award at workplace for good performance.

- Two promotions at work in 4 years.

- Interested in photography. Got some photos selected in annual company calender.

- A 2 month stint at a reputed NGO

- Participation in organization of a college fest event

- Nothing else

-----------------------------------------------------

Questions:

1) What are my chances at ISB's one year full time MBA program? As you see, I have a rather weak profile in addition to being not well rounded. To compensate for this , should I wait for round-2 ( which means 2 more months ) and try getting a higher score. I think I can reach 740 with some hard work. I want this attempt at ISB to be my best one. In addition, what are the steps, if possible, I can take to improve my profile. Will any short term activity help or will it end up acting against.

2) Do I have any chance with this profile at IIM's one year full time MBA program if I apply for next year via GMAT? Frankly, I am overwhelmed by applicant's profile there. Same question for xlri gmp and spjimr one year program.

3) Which international schools should I apply to? How can I generate a 'schools in reach' list. I have heard NUS is good. Unfortunately I can not afford schools who have fees Rs 40 Lakhs and above.

4) What can I do in next coming two months in extra curricular(s) to improve my chances, if I decide to apply in R2.

5) Post MBA, I want to get into product management in software/hardware domain. My work experience is of a individual contributor as opposed to managerial. I have interest in doing an MBA. Do people of my experience get through. (Sorry, this looks like (1)/(2) ). How do I put this through in my essays/interviews, that I want to continue in software field but in a managerial/sales role and move up higher the ladder.

12th: 55% (I know its poor, but I was not academically sound till about 2 years later)

Engineering: 64% - 1st class (Computer Science, Pune University, Top college of Pune)

MBA (yes, I already have an MBA): 70% (A decent score)

Extracuriculars: Uptill Engineering, nothing noteworthy. However, In my MBA:

- Headed various event and won many accolades for the same

- Won a couple of business case study events too

Work-ex: 3.5 years in consumer insights post my MBA (with global, reputed firms). I have been client consulting in the research domain for 3 years with 6 months spent so far on the client side. 

Work ex achievement:

- Youngest joinee to have given a client presentation

- Rank 1 in a particular research framework for the organisation

- Can get multiple strong recommendations right from MD, EDs in the firm for my exemplary work 

Reason for 2nd MBA

There are 3 reasons largely:

1) I am looking to shift my career to consulting with top firms (Mckinsey, Bain)

2) Looking to make a global career

3) Not happy with the current career progress. It is too slow for my liking

Colleges Aiming for (in order of preference):

- INSEAD

- One of the 3 IIMs (A/B/C)

I realise my profile may come accross as peculiar (or is it just a figment of my imagination?)

I need guidance on the below

1) What are my chances (I am yet to give the GMAT)

2) What additional do I need to do in the 1.5 odd years I have to further strenghten my candidature

3) Will be glad if I can have a F2F interaction as well with someone to discuss these things. If anyone can guide me on that, will be great!

Thanks in anticipation!
