Hi,
My profile is as follows :

GMAT : 680 (Q47, V37)
awa : 5
GPA : 3.8
Nationality : Indian(Female)

I am planning to apply next year, by which time I will have 2.5 yrs exp(3.5 on joining B school).
I have excellent acads right from my early school days.I topped my school in mathematics with a perfect score(100/100) and was also the school captain.At the age of 14,I organised and choreographed a drill involving around 200 students,in order to promote awareness about AIDS.I also received "the most cooperative student" award. During my undergradutaion, I was the president and secretary of several clubs and also organised a nation wide symposium for charity. On graduating, I received the silver medal for outstanding acads( second in the university).
( I have always been the youngest in my class , but always among the top 5)
I have been involved with an NGO right since its inception as the president(youth wing).
I pursued my undergraduation in computer engineering and worked as a software engineer for one of the topmost MNC in the country for 8months.I was also a part of the companys leadership institute unit.However, I always preferred management and shifted my career towards it. I received an offer from one of the top corporate hospitals in the country and joined them as Executive,Operations(Online &User).This role is usually offered to people with more than 3 years work ex. However, considering my ability to adapt , I was offered the position.Health care management is very challenging and I am gaining a lot of experience and knowledge.

Kindly evaluate my profile and let me know which schools I have a good chance.I am looking at Stern,Sloan,Columbia,ISB(not limited to these schools).

Thanks.

Hi chocolate,

Thanks for writing in. It sounds like your young career is off to a promising start, but you'll need to show these programs why an MBA is the logical next step for your plans.

I think ISB and Stern could be competitive and Columbia and Sloan would fall under "reach." Part of the reason for that assessment is I had a hard time following your career progress to date and had to make some assumptions; you'll want to make sure this is all very clear in your essays. Thanks and good luck!
