GPA - 7/10 IIT Madras, India
Work experience - 1 year as Consultant @ Capgemini which includes 2 Forbes 500 clients.
Started my own company in Healthcare/IT space and working full time as CEO in that for past 4 months and part time for about 16 months.
I played chess in school and college. Won Dean's Trophy Silver Medal and was team captain.
Was Scouts in school and won Governor Award. Did lots of community service in college too.

I have shortlisted the following schools. Please give your suggestions..

I am aware that most of the colleges are in top 20 rankings. Kindly suggest which colleges I have best chance to get and which college I have very low probability and should drop from the list. Also suggest any other safe colleges I should apply to.

Thanks for your reply in advance...

Congrats on starting your own company, Soolu.

Many wait for an MBA degree, hoping (incorrectly) that it'll make the entrepreneurial road less rocky.

You probably already know what the top business schools want in MBA applicants.

Since it's only been a few months in the new role in a full-time capacity, why not focus on the startup for a couple of year more and take it to a stage that'll impress Adcoms?

Better still, take it to a stage where you won't need an MBA.

It is very difficult to give that sort of advice based on what you have listed because you are competitive for all of the schools. For example, I worked with an Indian candidate in the 1st round who has a similar profile (IIT, same GMAT, consulting) who was invited to interview at Wharton, MIT Sloan and Columbia (but not HBS). We are awaiting his results.

Good luck,
