MBA Applywire
GPA: 4.0 Undergrad (Business Admin/Accounting)
Work Experience: 8 Years as an IT Director/Information Security Director
Test Results: Hoping to get a waiver but am willing to take an exam
Targeted Programs: Hoping to get into Kellogg Part-Time/Evening/Accelerated Full-Time, or Stanford preferred but open to options
I also do have my PMP and CISSP, which are not relevant pre se but was asked if I had one before. I am going to get CPA once I finish MBA or part of MBA due to state requirements. I am also white and have owned businesses and do have copyrights and trademarks due to a brand I own.
Does this profile seem good enough? I did have one of the admissions officers ask why even get an MBA, but I want one, and feel they are valuable. Also, scholarships would be cool but plan on self-funding if scholarships are unavailable.
Short-term: Short-Term (Post-Graduation, Pre-MBA):
After completing my undergraduate degree, I plan to work full-time in management consulting or a strategy/finance-oriented role within India. In the short term, my goal is to gain rigorous exposure to problem-solving, business fundamentals, and decision-making across industries by working closely with organizations that are navigating growth, transformation, or operational challenges. I aim to build a strong foundation in analytical thinking, stakeholder management, and execution while developing a practical understanding of how businesses operate on the ground in an emerging market context. These early professional experiences will help me identify real-world gaps where scalable, responsible business solutions can create meaningful impact.
Long-term: Long-Term (Post-MBA):
In the long run, I aspire to leverage an MBA from a top global institution to transition into leadership roles where I can build or scale impact-driven ventures at the intersection of business, finance, and social development. Drawing from my background in grassroots social work and exposure to entrepreneurship and consulting, I aim to work in impact investing, social entrepreneurship, or leadership roles within mission-driven organizations, with a focus on education, financial inclusion, and livelihood creation. My ultimate goal is to create sustainable business models that deliver measurable social impact while remaining financially viable, particularly in developing economies like India.
I am planning to apply for Deferred MBA this year. I am currently in the final year of my college at IIM Jammu
