Dear admission consultants:
Would love an expert's take on my profile
Age: 28 now
No of times taken the GMAT: thrice (600-590-680)
Profile summary: I have over 4 years of strategy consulting experience, including about 6-8 months of international assignments, have been a radio host in Mumbai for over 2.5 years, solid community service for over 4 years, and a moderator at this wonderful forum: BTG. I recently won an award for the best employee at my firm (top ten consulting firm), within 3 months of joining the firm. My GPA is poor though (havent converted it yet), have a 54% (on a scale of 100) aggregate in Engineering from Mumbai University.
My GMAT breakup (Q 49 (86 percentile), V 34(68 percentile) for a 680).
My biggest achievement, though, came last year when i quit my consulting job bang in the middle of recession to pursue freelance consulting opportunities. During these 12 months, i single-handedly initiated and implemented a technology transformation project at All India radio (local government radio station) with results to show, Similarly, i executed several freelance engagements before deciding to re-join Consulting.
Target schools: My target schools are/ were Wharton, HBS, Chicago Booth, Kellogg, Insead, Said, Judge and ISB in that order.
But now, it would be great to know the best schools i should apply to with a realistic chance of getting in.
Hoping for help
regards
Vidyasagar
