24 / Female / India
Work exp - I have 3 years of work exp in a business advisory company. We are a start-up, this has helped me get experience in different areas. I have helped launch (arranging funds / preparing successful business plans / checking progress) our sister companies and some other projects.
My GMAT score is 680 (48 in quants, dont remember my verbal). I completed B.Com with focus on Accounting and Finance in Summer 2010. GPA = 76%. I have completed the Level 1 CFA exam.
I organised an inter-collegiate Organ Donation Awareness Program along with the National Network for Organ Sharing (NNOS, India). Was an active member of the Business Club, participating in and helping them organise a number of intra-departmental programs/competitions. Scripted and directed two winning plays in college-wide inter-departmental cultural meets and performed in one play after college. I have also volunteered with Blue Cross of India (Nationwide Animal Rescue and Shelter Organisation). I was a volunteer and volunteer coordinator with Orinam for organising the Chennai LGBT Pride events (incl. parade, awareness events, social group meets and cultural events) for 2013.
I plan to quit my current job and join a HIV/AIDS support NGO (full-time) in the next couple of months.
My target programs: MBA in Social Enterprise / NonProfit Management in Fuqua (Duke University), Ross (University of Michigan), Haas (UC Berkeley), McCombs (University of Texas, Austin)
I plan to apply for the Round 1, hoping to start in Fall 2014.
My Post MBA goal is to initially work in the Management of a Non Profit Organisation and later establish my own Socially Beneficial Business Venture / Non-Profit Organisation targeting Animal Protection or Human Rights.
Specific Concerns: Will I need proof to support the above volunteer/extra-curricular work? Will it make a difference if I submit my application after joining the NGO and enter that as my current job? I don't have any work experience in my desired field, or a very high GMAT score - will I still be able to get through? Also, how much should I focus on my specific interest in this field in my Admission Essays? Thanks in advance.
