Notes:

6 years of WE as an Indian corporate lawyer at time of matriculation. I want to pursue a career path in areas that are related to what I am passionate about (which are music and health / fitness), hence the targeted companies post MBA.

I've been told that my profile is somewhat unique since I'm coming from a legal background, but I wanted to get an expert's opinion.

Part of me is really anxious about my applications since I'm not shooting for IB / consulting / 'change the world' type of jobs and I just want to work in an industry that relates to what I love. I've made it a point to detail what my passions are in my essays and bring out why I want to pursue career paths in the music and health / fitness industries.

Also, my law degree is from the UK, and I have a Class II Division I classification, which equates to a 3.3 GPA, per online sources.
