Hi,
I have a GMAT score of 690 (Q48 V36) and am Indian by nationality. I will be applying for 2017 intake.
Work Experience (will have 4 years by 2017; more that 2 years work experience in Management Consulting and approx. 1 year 8 months as Automation Engineer)
1. Currently working as Associate Team Lead at a Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Management startup with clients across various sectors. Will have more than 2 years of work experience in this sector, when I join a B- School in 2017.
Leading projects as Project Manager for various corporate and leading not for profit clients: both multi national and Indian including Ericsson, Microsoft, Hexaware, Akshaya Patra, Oxfam Foundation, to name a few.
Client management, client relationship farming, renewal of contract and project management are my key responsibility.
Had a promotion just in 3 months of joining the company.
2. Previously worked as Automation Engineer in a multinational pharmaceutical company (1 year 8 months)
Academics
1. Graduated in Instrumentation and Control Engineering from a premier high ranked college in India (NIT Trichy- Ranked among the top 10 engineering colleges of the country)
CGPA- 7.72 (/10)
Secured more than 99 percentile to get an admission to the college.
Extra Curricular
1. Strong extra curricular activity: President of a college cultural club; Treasurer of annual cultural festival; Department captain of water polo team
2. Learning Spanish language (A1 level)
3. Member of Toast Master society
Will be grateful if you could advise me whether I will have good chance of getting in to any of the top schools such as INSEAD (most preferred), Kelloggs, Wharton, LBS amongst others. Also will really appreciate if you suggest some profile improvements.
Post MBA desired career in Management Consulting.

Strong work experience names (which will be a big plus for the US Schools), but youre playing in a difficult league of Indian applicants. That is, theres a huge saturation of Indian applicants already, with very limited spots (perhaps <50 spots for INSEAD for example). Putting you above 700 for GMAT will make you slightly more competitive. US Schools LOVE the GMAT (which i dont think is a good thing, GMAT doesnt tell a persons capacity to be a good leader or to indicate whether someone is 'smart')
For all of these top schools, they look at leadership, the good and the bad - difficulties you overcame, and acheivements you did. In all of them, you need to logically explain how youll get to mgnt consulting and how the school can help you. they wont leave stuff to chance, so youll need to be 100% on how youll get there, within reason. This is especially for INSEAD, since its a 1yr MBA - less so for the 2yrs cause you have the internship to bridge the jump since youre changing careers.

Hi Abhisekh,
Your GMAT is ok, and any improvement at it is not going to substantially change the schools you may get in. It looks like you have experience in Management Consulting front, and if you can tell what unconventional insights you have acquired working as this consultant, and how these insights have been a rare education in itself, and what you might do with such perspective in the days to come, you would make impression as a compelling applicant. Make sure that insights are truly insights, and not another stale cliche on why, say, startups fail and succeed, and offer the same analysis. Think originally, and I believe you have the material of experience to think through. Generally, the schools you have mentioned have certain schools and firms in mind as feeder schools and firms, and they think highly about them, automatically and sometimes unfortunately for some applicants. Like Amazon and Google in the tech space, and BCG and Bain in the consulting area, and some firms in different industries. The best way to bypass this prejudice when we don't fit into that feeder template is by being brutally authentic and remarkably insightful about our experience. Your extracurricular is again notable, but tell also how these represent and reinforce the values that you believe in. Let them not be portrayed as fragmentary parts; try to tie them into the core fabric of your value system. Let them, in essence, get your philosophy that drives your aspiration. Hope this is useful!
