Hi,
I'm a 23 year old software developer from New Delhi, India.
I currently have experience of just over an year, but I plan to apply in 2022, for 2023 fall intake (by that time I'll have 3 years of work experience)
Currently a major contributor in a project for the company that will provide the control and monitoring of entire infrastructure of organisation from a single place. Have built it from scratch.
My background:
Gmat - 770 (Q50, V46)
School - 95.6 percent
Undergrad - 9.05 cgpa, B.Tech (Computer Science) IIIT Sonepat, Tier 2 college (under mentorship of tier 1 NIT)
Extra curricular - Organised various cultural events, some of the largest North Indian cultural events with the Photography Club of NIT, have won various competitions in photography.
Have started working with NGOs and done some charity work.
I recently gave GMAT and got a score of 770. I was originally planning for MBA from Canada because of the diverse culture, ease of immigration and quality of life there. I want to move to Canada eventually with my family, and lenient immigration policy in Canada makes it easier.
I’m aiming for MBA in sustainability and I believe MIT Sloan is the school that I should target for this. (Considering I don’t have much to show right now in the field that I wanna go in, apart from my nature and photography stories that show that I love spending time with nature, am I even competitive for MIT?)
However, in Canada I believe McGill, York and UBC also have good enough Sustainability departments.
My main dilemma is I want to ultimately settle in Canada. So should I try to go for top 10 US schools and then try to move to Canada or go for MBA in Canada itself despite knowing that they are not upto the par with top US schools.
Also, since my work experience is majorly in tech right now; What can I do to improve my chances for selection in MIT/Harvard with good enough scholarship?
If I somehow manage to get into MIT/Harvard/Stanford, then I believe I shouldn’t look anywhere else. Am I right?
Sorry for so many questions, but I’m really confused right now and any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you so much.

Hi yasharoraa,
Thanks for reaching out. I am parsing out your questions:
Considering I don’t have much to show right now in the field that I wanna go in, apart from my nature and photography stories that show that I love spending time with nature, am I even competitive for MIT?
A: You don't have to necessarily be in the field you want to go into post-MBA. That's why you're getting an MBA. Since you are not applying until 2022 I recommend you start finding ways to demonstrate that interest professionally and/or extracurricularly.
So should I try to go for top 10 US schools and then try to move to Canada or go for MBA in Canada itself despite knowing that they are not upto the par with top US schools.
A: They feel about on par. Apply to both US and Canadian schools so you have options. It's not exactly easy to get into a top 10 school in the US.
What can I do to improve my chances for selection in MIT/Harvard with good enough scholarship?
A: Harvard does not offer merit-based scholarships, so you should check that. For MIT and others, you need to focus on continuing to find successes in your professional experience and further developing your extracurricular activities.
If I somehow manage to get into MIT/Harvard/Stanford, then I believe I shouldn’t look anywhere else. Am I right?
A: That's a personal call. Those are very tough schools to gain admission.
Good luck,
Admissionado

Thank you so much for your prompt reply Admissionado
Really helped me think more objectively.
Also, would it be possible if I could get top MBAs for sustainability from somewhere? I’ve looked online but most of them seem to be some sort of promotion.
