Background:
Male, Brown, 27 y.o., Indian citizen
College: Undergrad in Civil Engineering from top 3 Indian engineering school (IIT), Masters in econ from top 2 econ school in India
Work experience: 3.5 years in investment banking in Mumbai, India. 2 years working as an analyst in the leveraged finance team at Nomura (private debt for LBOs). This was a middle office role and I was supporting the EMEA team based out of London. 1.5 years as an analyst at a no name American boutique investment banking firm focusing on M&A and private fundraising for growth stage tech companies across the US and India. This is a front end role.
Extracurriculars: NA
Stats:
GMAT: 330 (169Q, 161V)
Undergraduate GPA: 6.94/10.00 Master's GPA: 75%
Goals/Info:
Overall Statement: Ever since my undergraduate days at a school with an active culture of entrepreneurship, I have always been intrigued by startups & the tech industry. As a tech focused banker, I have experience of analyzing tech companies qualitatively & financially which I feel is a good segue into an internal role at a growing/established tech company
Reason for MBA: To pivot to a strategy/finance/PM role at a growth stage or large tech company. I'm also interested in investment management roles but since these roles are hard to come by I will focus on tech recruiting.
Why now: I have strong experience of analyzing tech companies from the outside and feel like this is the right time to transition to an internal role so I can directly contribute to the growth of a tech company.
Target schools (Applying in R2 this year): Kellogg, Haas, Ross, Anderson, Tepper
What are my chances at the schools I'm targeting, am I being too conservative or ambitious? Would you recommend targeting other schools given my background and goals ? I'm also really interested in recruiting for venture capital but realize it is super hard to break into for internationals and people from schools except HSW so I've given up on that. I am not interested in recruiting for consulting/IB
Thanks

Great profile - congrats on all of your accomplishments.
Why are extracurricular activities listed as "NA?" Are you not disclosing or do you not have any? That would be a big hole if it's the latter.
Your GPA is adequate. It's not an amazing feather in your cap but your strong GRE score will no doubt balance it out. You may want to address your GPA in the optional essay section if there's a reason why you it is not as high as you could have hoped, assuming there's a legitimate reason.
All that said, your list feels appropriate. Kellogg and Haas will be reach schools while Tepper, Ross and Anderson are more high targets/range schools.
The most important X-factor is going to be the strength of your personal statements. For someone with your background, hitting a homerun with these essays could be the difference between getting acceptances and dings are these particular schools.
Please reach out to us at Admissionado if you are interested in further refining this list and potentially procuring our help with your upcoming R2 applications. Good luck!
