Hi,
I need a few specific question answered regarding my application. Please spare a moment.
My details:
- GPA, major, school
78% in Anna University, India (Engineering). Good regional reputation.
- GMAT with breakdown
750 (Q49,V42)
- resume highlights, including company name, job titles and promotions
1. Infosys(5 years) --> Won all major awards, 2 promotions
2. Cognizant(2 years) --> Hired two levels above my position in Infosys.
3. Started a peer lending platform in 2015, aimed particularly at unbanked and fixed income class.
- extracurricular involvements
1. Significant. College chairman, IEEE regional chairman, Green club head in Infosys, CSR core in Infosys.
- awards, patents, publications, etc...
1. Award for excellence Infosys, 2012.
- interesting personal facts - countries lived in, challenges faced, unusual interests
1. Re-built a public school by collecting money.
2. Distributed around 20,000 notebooks to public institution kids.
3. Helped around 20 women entrepreneurs and 50 students using my peer lending platform.
Post-MBA goal:
A product manager in Fin Tech.
Drawbacks:
1. Indian-->Male-->Engineer-->IT-->No travel outside India
Colleges aimed:
Round 1: Cornell, Tepper, NYU stern (Because of the new fin tech course)
Round 2: Darden, Mccombs, Mcdonough.
My questions
1. I wish to apply for Chicago Booth in the first round. Couldn't control my temptation.
Please guide me if I am overly ambitious.
2. Given my drawbacks, am I targeting the right schools, or should I look for more safe schools?
3. For Cornell, I am torn between two-year MBA and one year Tech-MBA. For my long-term goals, a two-year MBA is necessary. But the one-year "tech-MBA" suits my short term goals. Even after speaking with some current students, I am not able to make the call. Please share your opinion on this.
4. I understand that NYU stern is a stretch for me, but they are the first school to provide a complete course focussed on Fin-tech. Is there a way to showcase my profile to satisfy NYU stern ad com.
5. Please provide any other aspects that you wish to share about my profile.
Thanks and regards,
Kumaran.

Hey Kumaran!
Very good to hear from you.
Overall you have a very nice profile, with excellent GMAT, and very nice progress in your career. (this is I think your major strength, as lots of people have high GMATs). Your one real obstacle to top 10 is your UG school and GPA which will make Top 10 schools tough, but nonetheless, I feel like you can and should try to aim for 1-2 of them (so go for Booth! I mean what's the worst that can happen? You don't get in, but do somewhere else
And your profile is strong enough to warrant an effort).I think your school list is very solid, and well-researched. With schools that fit your goals, and that are matched to your profile. So all you need to do now is make an awesome application and get some awesome recommendations.
Other than making the most out of your profile, experience leadership and advancement, it will also help if you have passionate and thoughtful essays. No need to "Reinvent the wheel" but just spend lots of thought and time on them.
And if you need help, drop us a line!
