31M | Indian | Engineering(Tier 2) + MBA (Tier 2 and 8 CGPA) | 5+ years experience in Digital Marketing & E-Commerce handling ~100 Cr+ P&L in lifestyle brands. GMAT Focus 695. Last year I applied positioning myself for Brand Management post-MBA - this year I am reapplying with a pivot towards Consulting (short term) with the long-term goal to build a premium lifestyle brand in India. Weak points: low UG GPA, purely marketing background, 2nd MBA, not from big global brand names ( only Indian Startup) . Given this profile shift towards consulting within a year— what schools should I realistically target this time (reach / target / safe)? . Also what are the chances for reapplication.
