1) Brief description of your full-time work experience. What do you do?
5.5 years of work ex. started as a Quality Engineer in a Software services firm, and later moved to Tech. Consulting firm as a Senior Quality Analyst. Promoted and changed gears about an year and half back as a Business Analyst . My daily job includes interacting with clients of N.America & Canada and providing them solutions in the space of Enterprise Project Mgmt (Managing budget, material & non-material resources, reporting).
2) Your GMAT - Unofficial score - 700 Q48, V37; Did pretty well on AWA and IR (Expecting >=5 and >6 respectively)
Fourth attempt, so pretty much the last.
3) College info: Not among the top 20 Engineering colleges in India, scored a meagre 68%; highest in class was 82%. 2007 passout. Had pretty bad health during 3 year of grad. tried as much as I can recover the percentage in 4th year with 79%. Math and Stats scores >75 throughout.
4) Significant college and post-college extra-curricular activities or community service, especially leadership experience.
a. Co-editor of a monthly newsletter, which caters to around 800+ people, at my firm
b. Lead CSR activities, at my firm, during 2010 - 2011 (Had to give up after transitioning as a BA because of frequent domestic travel and work load). Planning for annual CSR day, year-long awareness programs and stuff.
c. Volunteer at one of the local NGOs in my city -- mainly teaching kids of 8-12 years during weekends
d. Core committee member of Computer Society of India during college. Organizing bi-annual events and inviting corporates to college for industry exposure
5) Important certifications like CFA, CPA, FSA, or CA.
None

Singapore: NUS and Nanyang
UK: Sad, Oxford and Judge, Cambridge

R1 2013-14
8) Your post-MBA goal.
Short term: To get into Consulting industry -- specifically those firms which have strong foothold in community and social services , or into General Management.
Long term: (Read as looong term goal!) Set up a for-profit or non-for-profit firm targeted at children's education and community well-being (still vague to put it in words)![]()
