Future Plans (Post MBA):

------------------------------------------------------
My SWOT Analysis:
* Strengths:
- Good exposure to rural challenges and ongoing projects in India through PG Diploma in Sustainable Rural Development and Jagriti Yatra
- Good Leadership experience in IIT-BHU, both - as a team member and team leader
- Mining Engineering Profession - because it is rare
- On personal side - I can assure strong urge to use 'Rural Tourism' as means of Rural Development, and I follow never-say-die attitude for whatever responsibilities I undertake.
* Weaknesses:
- Though having exposure to rural challenges and academic qualification, have not created any impact so far
- Bad GPA of 7.5/10 or 2.5/4
- GMAT score - 680 (planing to take another attempt to get 750)
- No out-of-routine achievements in profession
- No strong exposure or qualification in 'Rural Tourism'
* Opportunities:
- International Business Network of US B-schools' Alumni
- International Exposure
- Developing Social Entrepreneurship Skills
* Threats:
- Financing US MBA might be difficult
------------------------------------------------------
Other QUESTIONS:
1. What are the best B-schools for developing Social Entrepreneurship skills?
2. How do you take my undergrad GPA of 7.5/10 (2.5/4) as?
3. I cannot conceal my weaknesses. What possibly can I do to improve my strengths to make these weakness negligible? (I do have a strong urge to develop rural India through Rural Tourism)
4. What can possibly make an application a success in Stanford/Wharton/Harvard? (Stanford has always been my dream school as is for all other MBA aspirants)

Well sir, the first KEY to you succeeding is taking all that amazing experience and making something unique. You have a sort of profile that if it's taken one way can sound like your standard run-of-the-mill Indian tech male, or if you take another angle, you can make yourself into a leader in mining with your own specific goals. That is likely the single most important thing for you. Don't be satisfied with easy answers when you approach your application. and if you want to apply to top programs with decent hopes, you will need that higher GMAT (But I guess you know that)
1. What are the best B-schools for developing Social Entrepreneurship skills?
Look at Top-ranked Non-profit programs. Yale, Stanford, Harvard are good stats, but not such easy program to get into
2. How do you take my undergrad GPA of 7.5/10 (2.5/4) as?
Best is to use this site: https://www.wes.org/gradeconversionguide/
3. I cannot conceal my weaknesses. What possibly can I do to improve my strengths to make these weakness negligible? (I do have a strong urge to develop rural India through Rural Tourism)
Aha! This a long process which you need to do mostly through work on your application. Best starting points: be TRUE. be ORIGINAL.
4. What can possibly make an application a success in Stanford/Wharton/Harvard? (Stanford has always been my dream school as is for all other MBA aspirants)
