Wow, you're a young fella! But ambitious, we see! And well on your way to success, with sweet GMAT score (already out of the way!) and nice grades.

So what can you do now for the next few years?
Just keep on doing what you are doing. Excel excel excel. Stay at the "top of your class" wherever you are. Take initiatives to lead in any situation at work. Organize fundraisers, social events. Work hard to try and get promoted as much as possible. Seek out those initiatives. IF you aren't doing some serious volunteering, do so now.

All in all you seem in a good position, so keep on trucking, my friend!

Hi Aniket,

Its too early to comment on your profile suitability for HBS/ Wharton but you are on the right track. GMAT score of 740 is good.

CFA level 2 or 3 will help and BCG is a good brand.

But schools such as HBS or Wharton are looking for super performers. So, a lot will depend on what you do in next 3 years. You havent mentioned anything about your extra currics. Do work on them to be able to present a holistically developed profile.

Thats all we can suggest as of now.
