Hi,
I am a B.Tech chemical engineering graduate from National Institute of Technology (NIT), Trichy (Ranked among top 10 engineering colleges in India)
My GMAT score is 720 (Quant 49 Verbal 38 AWA 6 IR 7)
GPA is 8.28/10
Class XII : 82.6%
Class X : 93.5%

I am currently working in petroleum refining sector in Reliance Industries Ltd.(Ranked no. 107 in Fortune Global 500 list) since July 2013. I am planning to apply to B-schools in January'2016 after 2.5 years of work experience so that I would have acquired a work experience of 3 years by the time I matriculate.

Designation : Manager / Job Role : Field Engineer

I have internship experience at Indian institute of technology (IIT)- Madras, Indian institute of management (IIM)- Bangalore and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL - Ranked 260th in fortune 500 list)

1)I have worked with an NGO, Cooperative of Cultural Development to establish non-governmental reforms in forming cooperatives for farmers.
2)I have worked on a public awareness campaign in association with Indian national science congress on the "effect of junk food on people especially teenagers"
3)I have also volunteered to teach underprivileged children
4)During my internship at IIT Madras I wrote articles on recent incidents in India which affect the ecology and environment :
(i) Death of vultures due to feeding on drugged cattle carcasses
(ii)Crisis caused by insecticide Endosulfan 5)While working in the petroleum industry, I conduct health and safety awareness workshops for the workers.

I was a member of organizing team of college technical fest
Hobbies: painting, swimming, playing cricket, badminton and listening to music

Target Schools:-
Columbia
Chicago Booth
Wharton
MIT Sloan
Kellogg
UC Berkeley
Duke Fuqua
NYU
Tuck
Yale

Which among these are ambitious, within reach and safe.
What are the prospects of getting an admit into other B-schools outside US like insead,IE spain, LBS
Can I add anything else to my profile to make it more appealing

Also, what are my chances at ISB Hyderabad.

There were some technical issues at the exam centre which hampered my score a bit so I'm also considering giving gmat again to get a score around 750. I used to get 750-760 in my practice tests.

Thanks a lot

As I am sure you realize, you come from a very competitive group of applicants. Your volunteer work and xcs may help you stand out from this group, so it will be important to highlight that. With a 720 GMAT I would not deliberately wait til January to apply; applying in round 1 will be helpful, and you will have the same amount of work experience when you matriculated, regardless of when you apply. IF you can get a good bump on the GMAT, then round 2 might be ok. Perhaps apply to a couple of schools in round 1, then more in round 2. You will really need to convince adcom that your shorter work experience is competitive with those that might have worked for 4-5 years. cheers, Alex
