Hey there Nachiket,

Thanks for the post! There are definitely some things in your profile that are great such as your leadership experience and the fact that your career goals are aligned with what you're doing now. That said, to go from Accenture to IT Strategy Consulting isn't exactly MBA worthy so you'll have to explain to the adcoms why an MBA is necessary. The rest of your profile is ok, average academics, so-so GMAT, some level of involvement, etc. With the profile you've presented, I think you should look at a diversified set of 25 - 40 ranked programs. You can even throw in an application or two to the top 20 and, while those are going to be unrealistic stretches, the worst that can happen is they say no! So schools like Kelley, Scheller, UT Dallas, Rochester, Madison, etc. should be in your consideration set. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions!
