Dear Aditya,
Congratulations on that nice GMAT score. It should help you out in your applications.
So, let me start with the main thing: Your school is a bit ambitious. Now you have some very good stuff in your profile, a very nice GMAT, management experience, and a solid employer. But at the same time, the competition is TOUGH.
I think your main challenges are:
- Tough applicant pool
- Non target school or industry
- Having a first MBA and with poor grades.
And these weaknesses make schools like INSEAD, MIT, Tepper, Cornell a bit tough. I think you should be concentrating more in the 15-30 range in US schools. (NUS is a good choice BTW, and ISB I think very tough, but you can and should apply to at least one very tough school). So I think that otherwise you have a very nice profile, and if you adjust your school list, you should do well,
If you'd like a full-on review and to chat with someone feel free to drop us a line here: https://bit.ly/mbafcBTG
Best,
Jon

thanks a lot jon.
I just wanted clarification on 2 points you mentioned :-
1. i am unable to understand the point regarding non target school or industry. If you could just elaborate on this point that would be great.
2. During my first MBA i scored 2.94 / 4 and the topper was 3.4/4. Normally the topper scores 4/4 . How do i convey this fact to the ad com??
