Hi All

I am a working professional from Samsung (Mobile R&D division - Bangalore).
I am looking for a brief guideline and profile assessment before applying to highly-esteemed international B-schools (which demand considerable amount of time as well as money).
It would be great if the experts suggest me schools which are best-fitted for my profile.

As I am posting to the forum for the first time, please feel free to redirect my post to appropriate folder.

~~Profile~~
Target Schools - MIT Sloan, Duke, Fuqua, Kellogg and INSEAD.
Male, 25 yrs old, born in Kolkata, India

GMAT - 710(92%), Q 50 (92%), V 35 (74%), AWA 5.0 (58%) - [taken only once in Aug'11]

Undergrad -
Jadavpur University, Bachelor of Engineering (May-June 2008) - Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering.

GPA -
9.03/10 [83.65% - I request forum to indicate what would be my GPA. As an engineering student, my academics are quantified in GPA]

10+2 -
West Bengal State of Higher Secondary Education, 93.7%, Stood 17th among 0.5M (10+2) Exam takers, Stood 34th among 0.15M Engineering Entrance Exam takers.

Work -
I have been working in Samsung R&D since July 2008. So, it would be 4-year experience on July, 2012. I am currently engaged in development of operating system or data-platform on 4G based mobile handsets for Samsung Electronics. Along with designing, coding and validating software for market-changing 4G smart phones, I am involved in mentoring new engineers, brain-storming for new technological advances and sharing my knowledge across Samsung's various software development centers.

International Exposure -
I have been travelling to International R&D locations of Samsung (in 1month - 3months on a single trip - 14 months on total) since the onset of Android based smart phone development work in Dec 2008. Samsung Head quarter at South Korea, Samsung Telecommunication centers at NJ, Seattle, Dallas and Alcatel Luscent Labs in NJ are the places, where I have interacted with different engineers and managers and coordinated as an experienced engineer of my module from Samsung India, Bangalore. Currently, I am working for another flagship product of Samsung with AT&T and Samsung Telecommunication America, Dallas.

Achievements -
1) Appreciated by the Vice President of Samsung India, Bangalore and Korean Leads for notable performance in developing Samsung's first 4G Phone.
2) Offered National Merit Scholarship for standing 17th in higher secondary examination in 2004 by Human Resource Department, Govt. of India.
3) Won medals for promising performance in Intra-Dept University Soccer League and Corporate Soccer tournament conducted for 32 corporate teams in Bangalore.
4) I was a contributing player of my School's under-19 Cricket tournament. We have won several district level and state level tournaments.

Social-Responsibility -
1) I am a part of my schoolmates who have established a Non-Profitable-Organization under the State norms. The organization is dedicated to help poor and needy students by providing notebooks, grocery etc, organize medical camp etc. This organization is currently working with the poor students of my Alma Mater.
2) I am a part of SISO-Seva, which is another NPO that helps local orphanages in Bangalore.
3) I have offered free tuition when I was pursuing under-graduated education.


Goals - As a working professional, who works on cutting-edge data-oriented 4G technology, and an open-eyed ambitious person, who takes interest on marketing acumen of several biggies and the start-up life-cycle of promising entrepreneurial ventures, I believe that MBA from the Ivy League schools can provide me the launch pad to try my dream plan. I have a long term goal of establishing world class online delivery system of grocery and beverages. I know that it's an open category and inherits enormous challenges from established traditional players, but, with global knowledge, research oriented course-curriculum, risk-taking and bright business network, it can be highly possible to position a global brand of online delivery system.

Nothing to say really :) Pretty solid, all round profile. Good brand name, international exposure, nice academics: Go for it!

Just one small advice, pay attention to how you tie in your long term goal with your current expertise/career path. Map out the plan carefully.

Good Luck!
