My Qualifications:
-Computer Engineering Bachelor’s,Overall GPA is poor. 54% in Indian terms. Passed second class. In the final year I did better though, 70%. On a 4 scale, GPA would come to 2.16 right? But I think my GPA is more towards 3.0+. Confused there.


5 years working as a SAP BI developer with TATA.
I have lead a few projects,am a certified PMP from PMI,green belt in six sigma and SCJP.
I am going through my last semester of my correspondence MBA(distance). I did this in finance because I have trouble understanding their concepts when working on finance modules. My MBA has gone well. ‘A’ grade till now.
GRE score Q-780. V-740. AWA - 5.0.


What are my chances at the MISM at CMU, especially the one year program?

Am I aiming too high there? What are masters programs in Information systems Mgmt that I should aiming for given my shady past?

After my masters I would like to pursue a doctorate in management. CMU’s course is pretty much poised for the industry and not for academia. And I would like to put time into masters and not go straight for a PhD
