Hey atulmonga - thanks for asking for input on your profile. You've already gotten feedback from several other consultants here on the boards and it's tough to do a whole lot without a GMAT score. We'd also be repeating what you heard from the other consultants (career goals are a stretch, school choice isn't optimized to media etc.) and it doesn't make sense for us to do that. Are there other specific questions that you have for us that we can help you with?
