Thanks for sharing your profile.

Unfortunately, I must clarify that mbaMission specializes in American, Canadian, and European business schools, so while the schools you mention are competitive, they are outside our area of expertise. However, your stats and work experience are not that differentiated compared to other Indian male engineers. I am not sure I would upgrade your target schools to include HEC Paris.

Good luck to you,
Jennifer
