Hi,
Would appreciate a profile evaluation. Targeting R2.
Nationality: Indian
Undergrad: B.tech - IT. SRM University, 7.4 CGPA (Out of 10)
Age: 27
Work Experience: 5.5 years
1. Cofounded a startup in the legaltech space, ran it for 2.5 years, managed a team of 2 full time employees and 4 freelancers, got acquired in April '18 by a startup accelerator, had a good exit. Currently working as a consultant to the startups at the same accelerator. I mentor startups on fundraising, marketing, strategy and technology.
2. Prior to the startup, worked for 2.5 years in TCS as a systems engineer. Was chosen the class representative and led a team of 50 during the 3 month training. Also, received the highest award 'Star performer'. Later worked on Business Intelligence and reporting for an aviation client and managed a team of 4.
3. During my college, I started a Non-profit which focussed on rural development, ran it for ~1.5 years, which ran campaigns on literacy and donations of essentials for the slums in my neighbourhood. Managed a team of 15, got covered on a weekly basis by local newspapers.
Post MBA goals - Consulting

Hi there,
Thanks for writing! Looks like you have solid professional experience, including entrepreneurial success. Regarding schools to consider, a few things I'd need to know first:
1.) Which geography are you targeting - U.S., Europe, Asia, or all 3? And within U.S., any geographical preference?
2.) What type of culture and class size are you seeking from an MBA program?
3.) Are you open to taking GMAT again? Given how competitive the process is for Indian applicants, I'd aim for at least 720+
Things are getting tight for R2, and it takes time to execute a strong application, so you may want to focus on the non-U.S. programs if you're set on starting the program next year (as their deadlines often are later).

Hi Nisha,
1. I'm targeting US. No geographical preference as such.
2. Immersive, Interactive and Innovative. No preferences for class size.
3. I won't be able to take GMAT again as I'm looking to apply in R2.
The colleges I'm looking at are:
North Carolina
Tepper
Austin
Cornell
I know these are ranked high and require high GMAT score, I would still like to apply to a few colleges which are ranked 10 - 20. Could you also suggest colleges which might be easier to get into?
