Requesting a profile evaluation and advise on how to best present my profile.

Hi Anuj,

The 3 Canadian schools mentioned above are within your reach with the profile and GMAT score you have.

Kellogg looks a bit tough because of your GMAT score.

Focus on your team lead/ management experience and learning from leading a big team. Add to that few initiatives you have taken at the workplace. Talk about client interaction ( i am assuming you must have been involved with clients on regular basis).

Your essays should also indicate consistent career progression and increase in responsibilities.

Last bit: Make sure that your profile is not unidimensional. Talk about your extra currics or something which lets the B school know the different side of Anuj.

Hope that helps.
