Wow, insane GMAT Score! Awesome job and must have taken a lot of focus to get there! Also, a strong and very unique profile. I am impressed with restraint to drop GSB and HBS from your list. That's commendable... or did you apply there in R1? 😂 I see almost everyone rolling the dice on HBS.

Try to show as much growth in career as possible and especially recently to demonstrate that you have not been stuck in a job for the last 4 years and that you are not a passive spectator but an active driver of your career and done a lot. That's what AdCom love to see and that's who MBB's want to hire. Speaking and presentation skills will also come into play for recruiting (much less for admissions) but I assume you should not be a stranger to those with your experience and achievements.

Good luck on the applications!

Thank you bb. Gmatclub helped a lot during my journey with GMAT. I wrote the exam on 30th Sept, so I couldn't apply in R1.The reason for neglecting HBS and GSB is that these schools have very high competition and the acceptance rate is pretty less. I am still unable to make a decision whether to choose Consulting or Operations/Strategy/Supply chain domain at this point of time. Your advise would help me to choose better while finalizing the schools

I would probably suggest that you start already networking and put your recruiting strategy into gear. I will reach out to some of the current students in whichever program, whichever you can connect with and ask for their advice based on what they are seeing in their program in terms of where you would have a better chance and the path of least resistance. You’re welcome to change this after application But you want to find the most logical and straightforward transition that would make you a very desirable candidate by consulting companies. Maybe you do infrastructure consulting or big project or perhaps you do some kind of a supply chain management recruiting. It would be ideal if you could talk about companies And people who have already done some of these transitions in your applications or in your interview and would be really valuable to get those stories from current students or alums. Keep in mind that they are super busy so you want to intrigue them with your questions and show that you’ve done your research and reach out to people with profiles similar to yours.

These connections and conversations with current students will not only help you with admissions but they will also help you with recruiting when these graduates get jobs and they will become your network down the road so the more meaningful relationships you can establish, the better in the long run. And then once you get in you can also help others down the road and so it continues 👍
