Re: Profile Evaluation
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your profile. Your academic record is very strong, but I have to say that your school list seems ambitious to me. The challenge is that as an engineer, unfortunately, the opportunity to demonstrate business leadership is not as great as for business people. So, I think that is going to be your challenge. Furthermore, I don't see any extracurricular or community activities in your profile, so that is going to be a disadvantage.
I'm not trying to be negative but I do want to offer an honest assessment. I would suggest that you add some safer schools to your list.
Also, something to think about: if you are very happy to go into a product manager role and you are 3 months from attaining that, why do you need business school? Be sure to be thoughtful about this and make sure that you have a strong story here.
Best of luck,
Mili
