Hi,

Need help regarding applications and selection of colleges. My profile is as below:

* Indian
* GMAT: 710
* BTech in Civil Engineering - CGPA 9.1/10 ~ 3.64/4.
* Work Ex of 3 years in Top real estate company of India
* Lots of extra-curricular.
* Why MBA: Want to shift from a technical role to a managerial role. Feel that I will reach stagnation in 1-2 years in my current profile.
* Post-MBA Goal: Want to get into a consulting job to better utilise my analytical skills.
* Target: US: Top 5-15 BScools (Kellogg, Fuqua, NYU Stern, Sloan etc) India: ISB.

Questions:

* Am I targeting the right schools considering my profile?
* I understand that nothing guarantees an admit, but still what is the probability of a person with my profile getting an admit from the above mentioned schools?

Hi, and thanks for writing! It looks like you have some strengths to your profile. All of the schools you mention have good connections with management consulting firms, so it's a matter of determining which is the best fit for you based on culture of school and geography. Your GMAT score is solid, but given that you come from a heavily representated demographic, if you're able to raise it by 20+ points that could definitely benefit your candidacy.

I think you'd greatly benefit from a 30-min. conversation where we can discuss your profile in greater depth - you can sign up for the free consultation here: https://www.mbamission.com/consult/?dis ... admissions

Thanks and hope to connect soon!
