Profile Evaluation - 690 GMAT

Hi Stacy,

First, I must tell you that I've been watching your applications tips videos on Youtube and they have really helped me a lot in my applications. :)

I would like to get a profile evaluation based on my GMAT scores, academic background, work experience and career goals. It would help me confirm the choices of schools I have made and establish a realistic expectation from the MBA admissions endeavor.

Profile: Indian, HCL Technologies (IT Consultancy) - I know you get hordes of applicants from this profile; it just shows how smart and ambitious we IT people are! :P

GMAT - 690 (Q49, V45, AWA 6.0, IR 7)
IELTS - 7.5
Academics - 93.2% in 10th, 88.4% in 12th, 81% in B.Tech (Top ranks in all of them)
Extra Curricular - Greenpeace member and financial supporter, major contributor to online social media events
Interests - Reading (Shakespeare, Philosophy and Science), Martial Arts and hip-hop dancing.

Work Experience - 26 months till date
  • US Client - Internet Security Company - Out job is to develop and manage their e-Commerce platforms
    Cross-functional role - working in different teams and solving complex issues related to process improvement and optimizations (different from the usual IT programmer role)
    Managing a group of 5 people with the same level of experience
    Promoted to Lead Engineer from Software Engineer in 18 months on the job
Career Goals
Work as a Management Consultant in a company such as McKinsey, Accenture or Arthur D.Little, helping clients in various geographies address their key strategic business issues. With an education in science and mathematics at high school, a rigorous engineering degree in computer science and 3 yrs (till matriculation) in a technology consulting company, an MBA at this point of my career is the perfect tool that would help me build a set of consulting skills to complement my technical skills.

Schools shortlisted
  • Kelley School of Business - Indiana University - Applied
    Mays School of Business - Texas A&M University
    INSEAD - France
    HEC - Paris
    ISB
Tentative
  • Illinois MBA
    Smeal - Penn State
    Tepper - CMU
    NUS - Singapore
I implore you to please give me a sense of direction based on your vast experience.

Best,
Eeshan
