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.

I think the most important thing you can do in your strategy is to present yourself as a LEADER (who happens to be in Tech) rather than a Tech guy who happens to lead.
Then, be passionate, do what you can to tell them one super unique story they have never heard from anyone, and stand out from the crowd.
