Thanks @Hitman_007 for sharing your background. Here is my evaluation of your profile:
Academics
Bachelors (B.Tech – Civil Engineering) | 7.72/10 CGPA | Jadavpur University
Masters (MS in Economics) | 76% | Indian Statistical Institute
GPA is fine, but you do have strong competiton from other strudents applying from stronger pedigree colleges i.e. IITs/NITs/BITs etc.
Professional Experience (Full Time)
Deloitte (Risk Consultant 1.5 years)
UBS (Quant Risk 2.5 years)
Goldman Sachs (Risk Strats 2 months (present job))
Deloitte, UBS, Goldman --> all thre are very strong brand names which are normally feeder schools into the FT Top 10. Risk as a function would fall in the middle office, so you do have competition here from people applying from more front office transactional based experience
Stint with Entrepreneurship
Failed ed-tech startup with user base of 30k+ at its peak.
This is unique and should give a lot of interesting stories for the applications
Social Experience
Greenpeace ( 1 year )
Mentors without Borders ( 1.5 years, ongoing )
Good, shows you have a well-rounded profile. Continue this atleast a couple of hours per week
Certifications
FRM, Global Association of Risk Professional, USA
CFA / FRM certifications are fine but not diectly relevant for MBA Admisssion decision. They might help you in your current or post-MBA job though. Since you're in Risk, I think FRM makes a lot of sense
Test Scores
GMAT - Not Given
GRE - 325 ( 170 Quant )
TOEFL - 111
This corresponds to an overall 710 in GMAT: https://www.ets.org/gre/institutions/admissions/interpretation_resources/mba_comparison_tool?WT.ac=40361_owt06_180820
Quant score is awesome. Verbal is definately your weakness. If you can push up your verbal score to 165, you're looking at a 780+ GMAT. You should definately connect and explore our Verbal prep which is designed exactly for students in your situation
Extra Curriculars
Violin (Indian Classical), Martial Arts
Good, but don't dilute by having too many extra curriculars. Focus on the ones with sustained involvement over a period of time
Long Term Goals
Work in Hedge Funds
Your Carrer Narrative definately needs to be more flushed out both in terms of short and long term goals
Target Schools
FT Top 10 (Need advice on the schools I can target)
Overall I think you definately have a solid shot at the M7 as along as you're able to pull together a coherent story. There is a lot of scope to increase your GRE / GMAT Verbal score also. Wish you the best with Applications
