I'll be grateful if you could take a brief look at my linkedin profile and let me know my chances at top-tier schools. Also please let me know if you have any specific suggestions.
[Edit: deleted for privacy reasons]
What's not captured in the linkedin profile is given below.
Post-MBA ambition: Private equity focusing on opportunities in emerging markets
Age: 30 years in next December
Work experience: 6 years in next July
Expected GMAT score: 740+
Undergrad GPA: 3.15 (this is my concern; the school is the best in the country though, highly selective - 75 get selected out of 4,500)
Community involvement and extra-curriculurs: nothing much to write home about. My real weakness.
Not sure if any of these would count -
was involved in an encyclopedic project (on arts and crafts of Bangladesh) of the Asiatic Society as a translator (translated two large entries and reviewed two more); worked as a pronunciation consultant (for foreign names and words) for a book on Frida Kahlo in bangla; published a web newsletter for my undergrad class (the first issue was very popular, but the second issue never saw light); well, I'll have to think real hard to find some more examples
Hobbies: photography (nothing extra-ordinary, but thinking of putting up an online portfolio); learning classical guitar; used to do some amateur programming in visual basic, have forgotten much of it though; self-teaching of languages
Languages: English (very good, IELTS 8.5 out of 9); French (early intermediate, preparing for DELF A2); Spanish (basic); Bangla (native); Hindi (intermediate speaking and listening)
Now if you've come all the way up to here, I must sincerely thank you for your time and interest in my profile. A response will be a real bonus.
