Hi,
Thanks! Glad the guide was useful to you.
As for your profile, as you may be aware, you fall into that Indian Male Engineer category, which means the bar is a little higher for you. That said, I think you can position yourself on the business side of tech, since you're not actually a software engineer and since you have a lot of customer-facing experience. Academically, you've got a strong profile. As far as community goes, sounds like you are involved but that you don't have a lot of consistency or leadership roles in this area. Extracurricular wise, again not seeing a lot of leadership.
The other thing that you should be aware of is your career narrative -- it seems to me that you don't necessarily need an MBA to achieve your goals -- going from product consultant to product strategy wouldn't be a big jump to make. You'll want to be really clear in your story about why you need an MBA to make your desired transition.
All this said, I think that your school list is pretty well rounded.
Booth would probably be the toughest one on your list, followed by Duke, Darden, NYU. Then your safeties would be Tepper, Johnson and McCombs. I'd probably suggest keeping Booth, Duke, Darden, and McCombs, Tepper. Or whichever combo appeals most to you based on your criteria. Overall it's a good list.
Hope this is helpful,
Mili
