For Wharton and HBS, they will be a long shot, even with exceptional essays. As such, it's not like I'm saying you shouldn't bother at all, but that if you do, treat them for what they are -- a lottery ticket.

As for school rounds, it doesn't matter -- if you can get them all in one round, that would be ideal (rather than spreading your efforts across two rounds, which can lead to burn out). Rounds 1 or 2 won't make a difference.

You can put 10 Indian engineers with near-identical resumes and personal backgrounds in a room and ask them "tell me about yourself" (which is the overall question that b-school applications are asking). Five of them will blend into one another, whereas the other 5 will come across as 5 distinct individuals, even if they are talking about the same things. It's not just what you convey, but how you convey it.

As for Columbia ED, go for it.

Projects with companies that bring in M/B/B tend to involve high level strategy


Let me tell you: it might have been true in the past, it's far from necessarily true nowadays. If you don't want to do implementation, don't go into M/B/B.
