And for the records => I am still awaiting for any response from your end regarding my Brief i posted over 3 months ago..!
Its on page Two of this forum ..!!

Though a lot has changed since then =>
I have a specific query
Is my profile good enough for notre dame ?
and additionally if not then - should i skip applying this year in R2 and apply in early round next year so that my work ex will be more than 2 years and 4 months?
i want to get into notre dame or georgetown..!
Actually Notre dame is my top priority.
P.S => I realize my post was a bit amateur given that i didn't do any research back then .
have done my research now ..!

Cheers

I don't mind at all! Sorry I missed your earlier post.

Your earlier post didn't mention a GMAT score, which is kind of important. Your grades are competitive. Your chances would be enhanced by an additional year of work experience. Why don't you post again after you get your GMAT, but please provide the information I ask for. FYI, high school grades are irrelevant at this point.

Best,
Linda

I would greatly appreciate if you could look at my profile below and provide your comments/suggestions.

Indian, male , 27 years old and applying for matriculating class of 2017 . My profile is as follows -

Academics - GMAT 750 (Q 49 V 42) B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from a NIT in India - 8 out of 10 GPA , graduated 1st class with distinction

Work Experience - 5 years of experience in operation and retail analytics, presently senior analyst in operation analytics at one of the world's largest mutual fund and financial services institution. Have got 3 promotions and the last one in the shortest duration to be eligible for promotion. Have lead a team of 4 in my previous job .Have won numerous awards and partner appreciation awards at both places.

My work primarily deals with US retirement industry and I directly report to a VP in USA and my daily work includes insights through data analysis and statistical modeling, and helping 41 managers across India and USA for resource planning of their 450 associates. For this I have traveled to USA two times for two weeks each to work closely with my partners. Also have mentored new hires.

Extra-curriculars - Have acted and co-directed short films in college and won awards for it. Was instrumental in setting up IEEE Chapter for my college and increase member base from scratch to 50 in 2 years. Member of the corporate social service club in both my companies. Love traveling and playing soccer and table tennis

Languages - English , Bengali, Hindi, Chinese (Basic)

Goals - Although I intend to switch to IB post MBA (ideally in one of the BBs and move on to PE later), I do not have any background in finance. Hence, I have kept Consulting as a backup option as it appears as a logical next step in terms of career progression. For this reason, I have narrowed down on schools which have decent placements in both the functions - Ross, Tuck, Duke, Booth for R1 and Darden, NUS for R2.

Let me know of your opinion on my choice of schools and any other suggestion you might have. Thanks for your time.
