Hi
I am an Indian but thankfully not a techie. Instead I call myself a mechie because of my undergraduate major in Mechanical Engineering from PESIT , a reputed college & now an autonomous university located at Bangalore, Karnataka).
I have been working for the past 8 years at H.A.L - a defense PSU in the Aircraft Research & Design Center as a Deputy Manager ,in the Planning & Production Control , handling the Land & Naval Prototypes that aided in the recently succesful induction of the Light Combat Aircraft programme (Code name: Tejas) . I was in charge right from Planning the Production Sequence of various structural modules to the Final Assembly of the prototypes and Hand-over to Ground Test for Air-Worthiness tests prior to Taxying and First Flight.
Prior to that, I began my career (courtesy of campus placement) at Toyota in the Production Engineering Department, where I had joined as Trainee and quit in a year as i received the aerospace offer.
Extra-Curriculars: Certified Grade I & Grade II in Music Theory from Trinity School of Music. I have to yet appear for grade I Practicals although I can play the riffs of Metallica ,
Pink Floyd , Led Zeppelin and their ilk with decent accuracy.
Can Speak four Indian Languages and currently getting better at Spanish.
Worked as Field Supervisor for an state-government aided NGO for six months during a period of State Crisis in 2013.
Love to Cook,Explore, Read books and Watch Soccer/Football.
Participated & Won Intra-City Elocution Competition at school.
Given the slope of my career curve and its direction,I seek a MBA to acquire the necessary state-of-the-art management practices to complement my technical competence. Specifically a program that has both Industry and Strategy/Consulting in the Operations domain.
Scores sent to:
1-HEC Paris
2-Tepper (CMU)
3- Ross
4-iE
5 Said (Oxford)
Since R1 deadlines are around the corner, I would really appreciate if an mba Mission Consultant would advice my chances in the afore-mentioned colleges. I would also highly appreciate if suggestions of similar colleges or colleges where i would be a "SNUG FIT"
Regards
Ateesh

Hiya,
I would say your school list sounds reasonable to slightly reach programs... but overall a decent fit; could you also look at Kelley, Goizueta, Georgetown?
While not a 'techie', there are still a large # of engineering applicants of all types to b-school these days, and a large portion of those from India, so it's still quite competitive. I do like the other interesting personal factors such as music, and the NGO involvement. You'll need to really show why the MBA is right for you and why now is the right time, since you have a bit more experience than is typical.... but I believe you could do so. Round 1 IS right around the corner and could be tough at this point?? But good luck in any case and let us know if we can help!
