Hello Amil, thanks for your question.

One question for you: did you clear 80% on both quantitative and qualitative sides of the GMAT? You come from perhaps the most competitive demographic in that respect, as you probably are already aware.

To answer your question about application highlights, right now I think you know far better than I do what your best experiences are! I believe your competitiveness will come down to the quality of your leadership experience in and out of work. Can you draw upon "moments" when you truly led: influenced individuals and organizations, drove results, took initiative? You won multiple recognition and awards at your firm. Tell the stories that showcase why you won these awards! It seems like you have some interesting stories from your firm and from Teach India.

In terms of your first question, I tend to avoid telling candidates where to apply simply because it's an intensely personal choice that you should make. I can no better tell you where you want to get your MBA than who you want to marry! After all, you - not I - will know best which program has:
"¢ Resources that best meets your career needs
"¢ A culture that resonates with your personal style
"¢ Students whom you respect, can relate to, and have fun with!

I encourage you to pound the pavement and talk to students and alumni from your target programs to find the best fit. It's not easy, I know, but the effort will be worth it in the end, I assure you.

I hope this helps.

Best of luck!
Brian

Amil
