Hi Kunal,
I think your stats are in line with your target programs, so I think you'll be competitive at those schools. Your fast track promotions are great, and should speak very highly of your performance. Plus that's great you've had team lead / training experience. I assume that you've some client interaction too? If so that's great. Not sure if you have any more recent volunteer / extracurriculars? That could be one area to emphasize more. Also, I encourage you to be more specific on your career goals. I like that your goals are connected to your current experience, but I don't have a clear idea of how your post-MBA role will be different, and what exactly you want to achieve in the long term? Painting a clear picture around your career path in your essays will help a lot.
Good luck, and feel free to reach out again if we can help with anything else!

Hi Kate,
Thanks for the quick revert!
The answer to your questions are:
Client interaction: My interaction has been more with the onshore stakeholder. However, I have done few projects wherein I got an opportunity to speak with the client directly over phone and delivered the final reports to him directly (through my email). For this project, we got a client delight award as well. Other than this, client interaction has been minimal.
Recent volunteer assignment - Yes, other than the one I mentioned, my social presence has been minimal because of tight work schedule. However, I am thinking of joining an NGO to contribute but I feel that b-schools might see this otherwise i.e. someone who's trying to bring in another aspect too hard just before the deadline. What are your thoughts on this?
In terms of long term goals, while the nature of work will remain the same, I want to get to the front end of market research project i.e. the selling side. With delivery experience on my side, I feel it is a great chance for me to understand the selling aspect of the industry.
I am thinking of writing to the admissions director to introduce myself and to understand how their school is placed in terms of curriculum and placements and how their school can help me achieve my goal. Does that make sense?
Many thanks,
Kunal
