Hi trgtgmat2013,

Thank you for your post!

At this juncture, it's a bit difficult to recommend target MBA programs. What do you hope to gain from a program? What are your extra-curricular activities? If you are opening the bounds to the "top 50" programs, it may be best to consider a regional program. It will depend on what you hope to do, more specifically, post-MBA.

As you noted, you are entering the "typical Indian IT" applicant pool, so you would need to demonstrate excellent leadership and communication skills, among other strengths. While the length of your work experience is on par with typical MBA program class profiles, it would help to get a sense of your progress and impact in your role. Do you have any management experience? What results have you achieved? In regards to your GPA, keep in mind that the adcom will only be looking at your undergraduate record. Another way to stand out would be to flesh out your career goals further. What role do you anticipate taking in the short term? The longer term? What impact do you want to have in the industry? What firms would you target and why?

I encourage you to consider these details as you seek to apply this year. If you would like to discuss your candidacy further, please contact us for a free consultation: https://www.clearadmit.com/services/free-consultation/
