MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

I'm a senior undergrad from one of the top unis from India ( IITs ) and am currently applying to various MiM programs around the world. I have been told that I have a great profile with "excellent" extra-curriculars and strong internship experience. I'm planning to give my GMAT FE soon, based on mocks will score 695+.
I particulary have no preference interms of EU/USA and Booth, Kellogg, INSEAD and LBS are some of the top programs that I could find. They way I look at MiM is that it would help me get that dream first job at one of the MBB firms ( consulting ). Post MiM and a couple of years in consulting/strategy roles, I would like to get an MBA from top B-School in US(HBS, Stanford, Wharton etc). Longterm I want to go into Private Equity or VC.
I have a lot of internships in the startegy domain ( startups ranging from dorm-room stage to unicorns ), interned at a Big4 consultancy firm. The two main outcomes that I look for post MiM are
1. Help me get a job in the top consulting firms
2. Position me well for the MBA ( which I'm not sure but ) will mostly probably be doing later.
PS - Also if possible, please do mention if me being an international student will have an effect on the recruitment process. I'll also have in hand a of job offer here in India before I finish college (not in consulting but in some business/managerial type role maybe not in MBB but in a decent company). The other plan is to take up that job and apply for MBA after a couple of years via the normal route. So if choose to go for MiM, it absolutely has to be worth it.

Here's a very personal (and controversial) opinion - take it with a pinch of salt.
I would recommend not to waste time on MiM. It is a junior cousin of MBA and the delta with the latter will always remain. I would encourage you to find people who first did an MiM and then went onto study for an MBA - I don't think there are any / many.
Second. To get into PE / VC in the long term, you need to get in there in the short term. Lateral hiring in those sectors is very, very few, if any.
If you are in the final year of your UG, the deferred MBA option is a great choice to consider.
