Notes:

I've pursued BBA with a specialization in finance from a tier-1 university of India. I am also an FRM Charter holder.

I began my career with Global Rating Agency (wasn't into credit rating though), got promoted within 1.75 years and worked there for a total of 2.25 years.
Post, that I joined a global bank where I have been working for 1.25 years.
In both the companies I had an individual contributor role to assist in borrower analysis/ credit research for a product they offer but was also involved in projects in addition to my BAUs including training and mentoring junior talent, workflow management, process improvement and some CSR volunteering.

Post MBA, I am looking to stay in the same industry but change my niche and get into IB/ corporate finance/ asset management/ PE/VC

- Would love to hear what you think about the profile and what are the gaps I need more attention on ?
- Are there any competitive MBA programs for finance that I am missing on ? Also, is the current school selection super dream ?
- Wondering if the profile looks competitive enough to aim for a scholarship (specially from US perspective)
