Hello
kunalcvrceYours is a mixed bag.
Let us start with the good-
Extracurricular look pretty strong. The EC, Social and Achievements will definitely help you, but more than just a laundry list make sure to bring out the impact and stories behind these and show the real person behind all of this in your application. You should use these to up you diversity since you otherwise come from an over-represented background.
Career progression seems solid too, but do mention how many years does it usually take to reach the position of technical associate from trainee. In short, are you much better than your peers? Secondly, since you come from a technical profile, bring out your achievements and real impact on the business of your company. (Awards/promotions are not achievements in themselves, they are the result of your achievements/contributions).
Let us come to the not so good now-
GMAT and past acads are a glaring weakness, especially for the list of your schools. repeating myself here, especially, because of your Indian IT background which already score high. So to stand out I'd recommend at least a 720+.
In addition the most critical piece of your profile is missing- Career Goals. What is that you wish to achieve and why is an MBA an absolute necessity to reach your goal? You could
add to your research by reading here.
To conclude your profile will need a spike in Acads (no spike), Work Ex (potential spike), Diversity (Definitely a spike if use EC/Social work well) and Career Goals (missing info) to get an admission. You can
read here on how to land up in these schoolsGood idea to bump up the GMAT and finalize realistic goals to fit your profile and the schools'.
Let me know should you have any questions.
