Hi Abhiram,

You have decent profile with solid GMAT and you are at the right stage of your career with 3 yrs of work ex along with some good achievements to showcase in your profile. Based on your profile Univ of California-Haas would be a stretch school and rest of the schools are moderate.

If you are looking at entrepreneurship then you should consider applying to Babson College followed by Stanford, MIT Sloan, Harvard, Haas and Wharton.

If you happen to based out of Bangalore, you may attend our MBA workshop organized by the alumni of top B-Schools and admission director of ISB. For more information and registration visit https://goo.gl/GjmFdu

Hey there mate,

Congratulations on a great GMAT score! But before I can tell you what schools make sense and which are aligned or safety, I need a BIT more information. For example, it's great that you've been promoted twice but what do you DO? Do you have any leadership experience? What's your impact? What's your app about? Is it 10K paying customers or is it free? What are the plans there? How long have you been doing it? Are you working with anyone else.

I hope you see where I'm going with this - you've listed the tip of the iceberg in your post. Now we need to get below the water line and into the real substance.

The more you share, the better I can respond!
