I started of as a R&D engineer in the automotive industry. I worked there for about 1.5 years. Post that, I switched to data analytics domain working for a mid tier consulting firm. For last 1.5 years, I have been working as a data analytst / engineer role in a product based firm. I am on track for fast track promotion in the firm. I want to do an MBA to switch to product management in tech.


I have good extra curricular in college but that was 5 years ago. After college, I have been involved at 2 NGOs but it's basic nothing spectacular.

Hello R P,

You have a well-rounded professional background, moving from engineering to consulting and now analytics in a product firm. This shows progression, but your post-MBA goal of product management is highly competitive for Indian male applicants, so differentiation will be key.

Your GRE 326 is a solid score, but Booth and Haas will expect deeper leadership and stronger extracurriculars than what you’ve outlined so far.

Ross, McCombs, and Tepper look more realistic, while Booth and Haas would be stretch targets unless you can demonstrate exceptional leadership or entrepreneurial impact.

You should also consider Duke Fuqua or UCLA Anderson for balance. Strengthening your NGO work into measurable impact and tightening your career story around PM will make your applications stronger.

Let’s talk through how to refine your positioning and craft a stronger career narrative for top schools.
