Have been active in sports at school and college level. Worked with a NGO for a brief period (1.5 years) during employment. Working in an analytics firm and at client location since a year (London). Have clocked two fast track promotions and managed a team of five people since 2-3 years since joining this company in 2010. I want to go into consulting post MBA and interested in B schools in US and Europe. My main criteria is a non co signer loan.
Wanted to know which schools should i apply to considering my profile and criteria. Do let me know if you need more information around this.
Thanks for your time.
Hey dude,
I DEFINITELY need a LOT more info from you. But you have some very interesting stuff here that set syou apart
1. Real leadership
2. International experience
3. Fast track promotions
4. NGO work
I think these four things should make either Top 20 or top 30 schools your target.
But I still need a LOT more detail about your work experience, your college, your grades, your NGO experience, your promotions and so on.
Feel free to drop a line, and fill me out on all your details:

Thanks Jon for the prompt response .. just writing it down here so that other people in similar situation might benefit too ..
College - Went to non IIT engineering college (tier 2) of a deemed university to study electrical engineering in 2004 and passed out in 2008 . We don't have a grading system but %ages here. Have got average %age (58) which translates to higher second class (66% is distinction or the highest usually). Did fairly well in first year but due to lack of planning and health reasons grades suffered badly in 2nd year. Started working on improving grades and got distinction in the final year (>66%). Hence, the average score.
Work experience - Got placed from campus with Accenture in 2008 and joined them in technology unit where i was still working on an analytics project. Got fast track promotion in a year and left the company after 1.5 years. Joined the analytics unit of my current employer (NY based nasdaq listed firm which also provides solutions in operations management, BPO) in 2010 and started working as an analyst with a top UK utilites firm. Then got promoted to senior analyst in 15 months and started managing the team since my manager had left and the leadership team thought i would be better suited to lead the overall project. Got my second promotion in 18 months and started working as assistant manager and moved to client's office where i was managing project delivery and helping them to reduce unwanted contacts. After working with the same client since i've joined the firm i have moved on to doing customer pricing strategy work for a top UK bank at their office in London / Northampton where i am working currently.
NGO experience - Joined one of India's biggest organization in the social sector as part of the BIG friend program which is kind of up and running in states and China as well. Was involved in mentoring and providing guidance to under privileged children. Was involved in organizing day fetes and bit of fund raising as well. I spent a year and half with this organization but left due to my re location at client site.
Hope this information helps .. do let me know your thoughts
Thanks
