Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Thanks for sharing your background. A couple things that you will need to consider is your common background and your age. You're in an overrepresented pool when it comes to ethnicity and education. One point of clarification regarding your work experience - was your consulting work technology focused or strategic in nature? Your GMAT is a bit low for INSEAD but in the range for IESE and HEC, however your age is the component that is working against you.

Based on the information you provided, your involvement looks a bit light given the only activities are related to your employer - any type of pro-bono consulting or activities outside of Accenture? At this stage of your career, leadership is expected. It's great that you are leading small teams, but this isn't really a point of separation for you, unfortunately.

The key for you will be to tie a cohesive story around why it's so important for you to get your MBA at this stage of your career. You'll need to take the time to identify unique traits and experiences that make you an attractive candidate. Leadership and influence will be qualities to emphasize given the depth of your professional experience. Hope this helps, and best of luck!

A higher GMAT is definitely going to be a good idea so let's start with that - retake the thing! When you're 34, Indian, Male, you really can't afford to be below the median anywhere.

As for programs, you've listed some really different programs. As for an IIM or PGX being good enough - I have no idea - it really depends on what you want to DO with your degree? Kellogg and PGX open different doors!
