Hi there,

These are really competitive programs. Your profile is definitely strong, but I think you would fall into the category of "Indian Male IT engineer" (even though you're on the BPM consulting side), so I worry that you might be overreaching with Sloan/Kellogg/Wharton. I'd still suggest applying to a couple of these as your reach options,such as Wharton/Booth [or whichever two you really feel are the best fits], but target programs like NYU, Tepper and maybe something like Ross/Darden (depending what you're looking for). I'd also add a safety school to your list.

Good luck!
Mili
