Re: Be so kind and please evaluate my profile
Hi and thank you for your question.
I can evaluate your profile only based on what you've told me - but there is a lot missing for me to be able to guide you better so I do have some questions.
Your academic and professional experience is impressive - solid grades in a rigorous field that ties to your career, and a history of promotions in your career, including a role where you can demonstrate managerial experience. If that was all the schools look at I think you would be competitive at all the schools on your list.
However, the schools also want to see some other dimensions - broader engagement with society for example, through community service, activities, or simply personal experiences. You don't mention any non-work dimension, so I can't evaluate it.
The other big question you'll need to answer for me to give a full profile (and for the schools) is why do you need an MBA on top of a masters and PhD? What will it add to your experience? How does it tie to your career goals?
Finally, given your current responsibilities, the schools may question whether an Executive MBA is a better fit for you. If you know that's not the route you want to take, then your "why MBA" and career goal statement becomes even more important.
I hope that is helpful,

Re: Be so kind and please evaluate my profile
Dear Jessica,
Thank you very much for your time and efforts. Actually I`ve got something to add on society friendly activities. For example, I was a leader of marketing department of the prowestern party during the Orange revolution in my country (probably you don`t know much about this issue - but it was almost a civil war and I was in charge of 300 people and did my best to prevent any violence). Additionally, I`ve contributed to the launch of the first oceanarium in the city - marine creatures are my hobby so my skills were helpful. I am involved in many other activities such as mounting bicycling, dancing and running English speaking club.
Jessica, do you think these examples are enough to show that I`ve been concerned a lot about the society?
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Serge
