Hi,
Your profile is outstanding and you should definitely stand a chance at the top B-schools both in the US and in Europe. I believe that LBS, HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, Stern, Columbia fit your profile.
The Main components of your application are:
- GMAT
- GPA/Certificates
- Recommendations
- Years of Experience
- MBA Essays/Profile
You must make sure that each and everyone of these components is the best you can possible produce, in order to ensure you are selected for an interview.
Please feel to contact me if you would like further information about the application process and how best to market yourself as an international applicant.

Hi fajad,
You stand good chance in the desired schools. You have a strong profile so make sure you highlight it well. This would include quality of your work (what you did there like-what were your achievements, what initiative you took, what changes you drove in your workplace etc), your academics and beyond academics bit. Given this is represented well you have very good chance at the given schools. All the best.
