Kindly let me know what are ambitious and insurance options with respect to my profile. I am keen on pursuing my career in the field of technology management/ RnD management.

Though I have relatively lesser experience (2 yrs post masters experience and 2 yrs of Masters in management @ IISc), I believe my interest areas fall into a niche category and I've been working in the same areas."

My first priority is the MSMS program. Though not being a part of the partner schools and having around 2 yrs of work experience, do you think I can make it ?

Hello there good sir,

Well any real evaluation will have to wait a wee bit for that GRE... so I wish you luck there!

But basically, overall things look pretty good. If you can get on the higher end of your scale and apply to all four of those schools currently on your list (you could also consider adding 1-2 more on the safer side). It's hard to evaluate without more detail, but I'm guessing that MIT and Kellogg will be a bit of a stretch for your profile, and that Johnson Goizueta is about competitive for you.

Probably the most important thing in your application will be the story you tell about your career, and how you can link up your experience with your desire to do an MBA, and very exactly how that will help you get where you want to be,

I hope this helps,

And if you got any followup questions, don't hesitate,

Best,
JF
