My chances for MBA School

[Carsen]

Hi David

I have been reading the posts and your replies. To be honest, I got answers for lot of my questions in here, thru your replies. A short intro before I ask my question. I am a Mechanical Engineer, India, with a second class (percentage wise is 59%)....perhaps, that comes to about 2.7GPA. I admit, I was not so good student in the UG, kind of jolly-go guy, all expenses paid by parents, you know what I mean?. Just before completing my engineering, I realised my jolly-go-kid attitude would not take me anywhere, started to workhard on my career path. Since then I have worked well and quite international if you would consider working in Arabia, Singapore, Germany, India and now in China is international. I am a good team-player. My extra-currlr were to be a Leader in the Lions Club (Junior wing), Drama, and public services. My target for GMAT is 800 (well, I know, it is not possible, but thats how I put it, so that 700+ would be practicle). Total exprnc 8 years, diverse. My target schools are mostly European ....LBS, INSEAD, Rotterdam .... and few good USA schools. My question to you is, putting yourself on the admsn comittee, how would you access my application. Trust me, my essays are good and I can provide good recommdtns. If you would say, you may not really look in to the academic profile, then what would mask the acmdc credentials (nothing can be done to clean them, I have to face it). Your genuine reply on this is looked forward.

Regards
Carsen

Carsen,

i think it mostly depends on your WOW-factor and how you build your story around it.
Your weaknesses can easily be mitigated through a strong theme.
