Hi,

With the given information, you are in a perfect stage of your career which most of the b-schools look for. If you are able to score 700+ GMAT score, then you'll stand a decent chance in H/S/W, Columbia and LBS. You can try your chances in other b-schools by clicking https://bit.ly/14g2y0S

Please find the answer of your queries in line:

1.Evaluate my chances of Admission in Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Wharton & London Business School.
Kindly refer opening para.
2.I want to apply on 2nd Round? Will this affect my chance of admission as compared to apply in Round-1?
Equal weightage is given to the applicants in R-1 & R-2. I would suggest to apply in R-1 to strengthen your scholarship chances.
3.Give some valuable advice to improve my profile further before applying to top business school.
You can showcase leadership skills & professionalism in application essays and demonstrate achievements during final interviews.
4.If I had a low GMAT score (below Average) in my 1st GMAT Attempt, will this affect my case?
Well in this case, you need to put extra efforts in your application essays and work hard on interviews.

Let me know in case of other queries. You can PM your number to discuss over your profile or selection of b-schools.

Regards
Richa
