Dude,
I'd love to help you out, but I need more INFO!!

What's your GMAT? What's your TOEFL?

I need a LOT more info from you - school name, employer name, titles, promotions, greatest achievements, volunteer work, sports, community service, religious involvement, leadership.. etc. before I can give you a real evaluation.

It will also be very helpful if you can elaborate upon your goals.

Have a look at some of the other very detailed profile requests on this board and do something similar and I'll be happy to get back to you.

Best,
JF

Hey dude,
Good to hear from you!

So it's still very hard to evaluate you without a GMAT but let me take a shot at it.

Right now you have some very good stuff in your profile (your volunteer work notably) but some weaknesses too (your school, the fact that you have an MBA, Being IT/Male/Indian, and your MBA GPA). I think this would safely place your target school list in the 10-30 range if you are able to score a 720.

I think the biggest challenge for you will be to come across as unique and original Your profile is very good, but sounds like many may other profiles that are similar, so to truly be successful in your applications, you will need to find a way to come ALIVE in your application and jump off that page as a desirable candidate.

Good luck on your GMAT!
when are you taking it?

Best,
Jon Frank

"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."
