Hi, MBA mission!
I request you to evaluate my profile for programs at top 15 US B-schools, Rotman and ISB.
GMAT: 730 (Q50,V38) IR-5, AWA-6
Academics: B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from an NIT in India (GPA- 8.15/10)
Work Experience: I have recently completed 3 years. I was recruited by a fortune 50 company, which is a leader in most of the products in its portfolio, for its leadership development program. Have worked in manufacturing operations (vendor development) and procurement roles. Currently providing strategic sourcing consulting to internal process partners. Have first hand experience of a New Product Introduction.
Post MBA goals: Strategic consulting in the domain of operations and supply chain.
Volunteering: Was the co-founder of my city's chapter of an NGO. Worked for about 10 months, had to give up because of demanding work hours. Recently started volunteering for another NGO. Have volunteered through CSR channels of my company as well.
Hobbies: Photography (Am a selected and active GettyImages.com contributor and have won a few competitions at college level)
Also, could you please mention a few programs that will be a good fit for me?
Any advice would be of immense help! Thanks!

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out!
Your work experience sounds really strong -- leadership development programs are typically quite selective, especially for such a large company, and it sounds like you've had some great exposure. Any international work? That would be even better, but not required. And your goals make sense too given your background. Be sure to research specific firms / practice areas so you can speak credibly to your career path when it comes time.
Your extracurricular involvement seems pretty good, not amazing / enough to differentiate you from other applicants though. Your GPA / GMAT stats are great too.
I think schools like Rotman and ISB are good matches for you. Top 15 is possible but the very top ones (H/S/W, possibly Booth/Kellogg/Sloan/CBS) could be tough for you since average GMATs at those programs are 720/730 range and they attract an extremely competitive applicant pool. I would consider schools like Ross, Stern, Cornell, Tuck, Darden, Fuqua, Tepper, Kenan-Flagler - all of which have good consulting placements. These are just a few, there are lots of great programs so consider what factors are important to you and research schools beyond just the rankings.
Good luck!
