Hello,

Based on the information you've provided, your list looks good for the most part. However, I'd suggest either changing or adding to your reach schools. In particular HBS will want not just extracurricular involvement but leadership in that area.

I don't think you can cover up lack of extracurriculars; it will be a weakness in your application. What you can do is to try to make the other aspects of your application so compelling that on balance the adcoms will still want to admit you. How you would do that would vary a bit application to application, as you target it to the particular program.

Best regards,

Indradeep,

It's hard to say without knowing your goals. Have you considered Cornell, Darden, MIT? Those all might be good to look into to see if they offer what you want. They're quite different and they vary in degree of competitiveness, but they're all schools with strong personalities and a great deal to offer.

Best regards,
