BackgroundHey @Buggzygoonk,
Thank you for your post!
I'd like to start by congratulating you on your excellent GMAT score of 760. However, you must realize that your grade is only a reflection of your academic ability; as a result, if you could give sufficient examples of your intellectual brilliance. Additionally, you have a respectable overall GPA. However, I would like you to include any extra courses, certificates, and academic honors received so that we can assess your prospects of admission to your desired B-schools.
Coming to your profile, you have a limited amount of work experience. Hence, I think you might fall short on stellar leadership examples. So, to bank upon your experience, elaborate more about your responsibilities, crucial projects assigned, skill-set developed, and obviously, your professional accolades (including any leadership awards) and the impact generated during your internship tenure.Your tech startup should be the main focus of your application and how you aim to build it up.
Coming to ECAs, most of your relevant work was done during your college/school years ER of student parliament and member of the appointment committee of professorship). So, I would suggest you add some more relevant volunteering, community work, and even some great hobbies would work. Also, I would like you to elaborate more on the new challenges faced, the leadership role you played, the impact created by you, and a bit more about the overall experience.
Overall you have a good profile, but, you will need to add more work experience. I agree with
Admissionado, you should gain more work experience and then apply. I see much potential in your profile, and the only thing you need is a bit of guidance and fine polishing around the rough edges!
