Hello

I request you to please evaluate my profile and gauge my chances at my selected schools.

I am an Indian engineer from BITS-Pilani having work experience of 26 months to this day in a top MNC.

GMAT - 750 (51, 39)
GPA - 8.3/10

I have a lot of leadership and team experience at work and undergraduation. Even led a small team for a massive product commercialization despite being the youngest. I have good recos and decent extra curriculars. I have also been promoted twice in two years, and involved in small scale volunteer work.

My post mba goal is as a strategy consultant in technology firms and long term aim is to grow into General Mgmt.

I'll be applying to:
MIT Sloan
Kellogg
Fuqua-Duke
Rotman
McCombs
Foster

Have I compiled a good list?

Thanks.

Hello razordude1717,

Thank you for your post!

As you may be aware, as an Indian national with an undergraduate degree from an Indian institution, you come from an oversubscribed pool of applicants. This puts more pressure on several aspects of your candidacy to stand out. Fortunately, a 750 GMAT and extensive leadership experience will help you do so. A 750 GMAT would actually open more doors for you along the lines of MIT / Sloan, Northwestern / Kellogg and Duke / Fuqua. Rotman, McCombs and Foster are solid programs, but you may consider swapping one out for a higher tier. In regards to your consulting goals, these will be seen as feasible; however, you’ll want to dig deeper into these to set yourself apart more. Identify a few target firms, elaborate on the impact you wish to have—accounting for such details should also help you determine why you need an MBA.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
