Hi, here's another profile evaluation request -
750 GMAT (Q-50, V-41)
GPA - 8.2/10 (I got this converted at WES, which said the the equivalent US GPA would be 3.98 - something that I found unbelievable!)
Bachelor's - Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from IIT
5 years of work-ex (at matriculation) at one of India's largest integrated steel companies
Been one of the best performing employees of the company in the last four years (reflected in annual ratings)
Have worked in various job profiles including technical (process control and analysis, quality trouble-shooting, six sigma), operation strategy implementation, and corporate planning (Promoted from one to the other based on competency and performance)
Was handpicked to work directly with CEO of the company (will get his recommendation) and have been fortunate to see how the whole business works from close quarters.
Extra curriculars - Number of leadership positions in college (Head of Design in college's yearly technical festival, Captain of Fine Arts and Ad Design teams among others), General Secretary of the local chapter of alumni association
Short term goal - Move into strategy consulting with a focus on improving manufacturing capabilites of organizations from emerging markets
Long term goal - Strategy / Leadership role in a mid size manufacturing company in a developing market with an aim to transform it to an industry leader
Given my experience, I believe I can bring in excellent diversity and interesting insights into the classroom on the workings of emerging market manufacturing firms, though I wonder whether people would be interested in such a traditional field.
Concerns - My firm is NOT a feeder to US B-Schools (in fact I doubt if anyone has ever applied to a top MBA program from my firm. I think this is because of the nature of the industry more than anything else). Can I turn this into a strength?
27-year-old Indian male
Target Schools - HBS/Wharton/Tuck/Kellogg/Booth

I like your profile dude! A 750! Nice grades! Solid industrial experience. Awesome work reviews PLUS a close personal connection to the CEO. I have strong faith that with this as a basis you should be able to build a unique an interesting profile, even if your company is not a typical feeder.
Given that, I'm not sooo crazy about your goals, because your goals make you rather "plain".. meaning there will be like a billion other candidates who come from or want to go to management consulting. Why not come up with more exciting/ambitious goals in your industry... (i.e. become CEO of Tata Steel or whatever)

Thanks Jon for the feedback. I'll work on how to bring more clarity to the goals. I have seen first hand how cross industrial experience adds to an individual a dimension that is refreshing. This is why consulting appeals to me (in the short run of course). I understand that the long term goal needs to be sketched out much better.
