respected ,
i came to know about your mail through my friends in the forum , if you can
please share a minute or two and just guide me with your expertise , i
shall be highly obliged.
i am an software engineer working with Cognizant , till date have an
experience of 26 months in IT field . i wish to do an MBA from a Carlson
school of business . currently working as a module lead coordinating with 2
more team members. its a million dollar project.
have won appreciation in the previous projects. core organizing member of
Leadership and Communication skill workshops here in my company. organizing
member of a group that undertakes Corporate Social Responsibility
initiatives. I am Electrical Engineer from India securing 72% and in the
top 5% of my batch which was of strength 60. Have done Post Graduate
Diploma in Embedded Systems Design from Govt. of India IT research division
securing 87.5% amongst the top 2 % of the batch of strength 60. in high
school secured 88% amongst top 10% , and in 12th standard secured 83% again
in the top 10%.on weekends spend my time with kids of an orphanage teaching
them maths.
i will be appearing for GMAT in March , as per practice test scores the
range in final can be from 600 - 700 .
i am in a dilemma i have just given an interview for a fellowship , it is
for Teach for India . Teach for India (www.teachforindia.org) is based on
the lines of Teach for America , it is a 2 year full time fellowship. it is
based on same rationale of Teaching is Leadership.As i have seen on the
sites of MBA colleges they look for applicants who have a good leadership
record, good academics and good on the community front. my dilemma is if
selected should i go for this fellowship and henceforth pursue my MBA in
fall 2011 or should continue with my job and pursue MBA in fall of 2010.
have demonstrated motivational skills in my org. in form of organizing a
global warming campaign named SAVE ENERGY SAVE EARTH , motivated almost
2500 to save energy and the importance of an indiviual contribution in the
cause of global warming.have shown innovatives in form of automations of
processess saving time and money.
recommendations from my current and previous supervisors , recos shall be
good from them..i think the TFI fellowship will present real time obstacles
and solving them you add another dimension in my leadership quality.
i wish to do my MBA in consulting or in general management domain
which profile , working as an IT engineer with an experience of 44 months ,
or a IT engineer with 30 months + a Fellow with 24 months of experience ,
would be of more weightage to get through in a good MBA college.
thanks in advance for your co-operation !!
