Hello there!
Thanks for reaching out. So your work experience is quite interesting...BD at a startup plus the family business exposure and government projects...quite different and should definitely help your chances. Especially if you can weave these experiences together to tie nicely to your post-MBA goals (which sound pretty vague now by the way, so you'll definitely want a clearer, more specific path when it comes time). You can reflect the family business experience on your resume / CV, and maybe even include the links to where the logos are online.
Academically, your grades are OK, but you were super involved in activities and leadership so that will help.
I think if you get your target GMAT 700-720 then your target schools should be possible. I'd feel better about your chances at your dream schools if you end up above 720.
Feel free to reach back out once you've got the GMAT behind you!
Good luck!

Hello Experts ,
GMAT - Slot Booked and approaching soon. At the earliest i want to start with building a profile and making it look strong. So kindly advise B-schools according to it so i can narrow down my schools.
Ethnicity- Indian

Btech (Mechanical) - 2013 - 69%

10th (ICSE) - 2007 - 75%
Work Experience - 3 years
I am currently working as a business development executive at a startup and have worked with a government agency to design some training programs for their employees and have worked on a building an android application along with succesful launching of a online platform designed for certain companines. ( working for about 2 years here).
Working alongside here , My father owns an advertising agency in which i play a role too because it is a family business and i need to look after when he is away and have helped create logos for the Government of Telangana. I am from Hyderabad , India and Telangana is the State. So i do not know how to leverage this work because in my own personal opinion I think it is great to have worked on a few government projects and design logos for it. The logo is evident on their websites and posters and all over the city . So i think i can give me some edge but any opinion regarding this will be considered
Prior to this i worked with Google for a year via a third party. I worked here as a business analyst.

As seen above most of college extra circulars have been at organizing events and conducting events and always having a team of members under me. So i love to take up such roles and thus have this desire to be a manager . I have learnt a lot during them and would want to leverage that experience gained to become a better manager. My academics are not that great but if an overall profile is desired i have pretty decent academics , active in sports , music and other activities as told above. Is there anything that could be done to further solidify my profile because i cannot change my academics
Future Goals - To become a successful manager use the knowledge i have gained during my life and later on become an entrepreneur or take up the family business and invest money in certain ideas i have as a startup
I am interested to handle multiple members , open to any stream of management be it finance , marketing , operations , general or sports. Looking forward to study in the top b-schools of course in US , Europe , UK and India
Target schools - ISB , Nanyang , Oxford
Dream schools - Yale , Kellogg
Acc to the profile , the schools i can apply too and any target score needed to achieve the schools i desire
I believe i can get 700-720 . I will try and aim for that as well
Any advice will be considered .Thanks
