Thanks for the additional info! Is First Class the highest or second highest graduation distinction?

The schools you name are all strong in strategy consulting. LBS and Insead (though both are very competitive) I imagine have a strong network in India, but keep in mind that Tuck's alumni network is smaller in number overall (so I recommend doing some research to see what the Tuck network's like in your desired cities). Are you considering IIM as well?

Thank you for your response.
My undergrad did not have any rankings. However, due to my average and because I once failed a paper, I was awarded a "First Class" on graduation.
I would like to continue in India. If that is difficult, I am willing to travel extensively with India as my base.
I want to go into tech/ strategy consulting.

Hi - thanks for providing your profile! Though you are applying from a very competitive demographic, your high GMAT score, strong work experience, and extracurricular involvement will help strengthen your candidacy. Regarding your undergrad performance - did you have a class ranking, or could you share whether you graduated with a distinction (High Honors, etc.)?

Also, what are your career goals, and what is your desired geography after graduation? This info will help me assess whether these schools seem to be a good fit for you.

I would appreciate a review of my profile as mentioned below. I haven’t started applying yet but I am hoping that my aims are not set too high.
Finances are not a crippling factor, but I would need some level of scholarships to manage.

My Profile

Nationality: Indian
Age: 27 years
Gender: Male
GMAT score: 760

Work experience: 6 years
Industry: Software Industry. I joined an Indian MNC (TCS) at the end of 2010. I was trained to work on the Oracle E business application suite and worked with 4 clients including an American healthcare giant and three telecom players (2 Indian and one from the Middle East). I was also, for a short duration, deputed as an instructor in a training program for fresh recruits. I then switched to another Indian MNC (Infosys) in early 2015 where I have been working as an analyst for Oracle customization ever since.
Certifications: Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate

Undergrad school/ Major: Local College/ Bachelor of technology (Electronics and communications)
Undergrad percentage: 60.3 (had to retake a paper once but cleared it in first attempt).

Extracurricular activities: Participated and won prizes in several literary events in school and college.
Regularly leadership roles since my youth as can be demonstrated by below points:
• Member of school council for two years in a row in high school.
• Member of hostel student’s union in college.
• Helped organize a national level technical symposium in my final year of college.
• Member of several committees which organized recreational events when I worked for my first employer.
• Currently working for a CSR initiative run by my present employer.

Target career stream: Strategy/ Operations management
Target schools: LBS, INSEAD, TUCK


Thanks in advance!
