Hello,
Please evaluate my profile and give your valuable feedback.
Nationality- Indian
Undergrad- B.Tech. from NIT, Warangal
GMAT Score - 680 ( Q-48, V-35, AWA-5.5, IR-6)
Industry Experience - Energy/Renewable.
Work Exp: I am a 28 years old Male, presently associated with GE as Contract Specialist for Asia Pacific region. My past employer was L&T and MHI. I started my career with selling individual oil and gas/power plant equipment, and then moved on with turbine generator sets to individual EPC contractor ( India/other south Asian countries). Then I spend some time with business development and corporate strategy, where I was involved in discovering sustainable new business prospects as my company was looking for new field to expand its business (post 2013, when the power scenario in India was slowing down). Moving on, for the last 3 years, I am into contract and risk management - finalizing contracts, creating claim strategy, and so on. Total experience of 90 months by Aug/Sept'16.
( I could substantiate all of the above with figures/Order book status in my detailed application resume )
Post-MBA, I would either like to continue with my present organization ( In which case, I may get some sponsorship), or would like to move into Energy consulting.
Volunteer Experience/Extra Curricular:
1. Successfully set up an NGO with my Uncle in 2012 – mainly concentrating in providing education to the underprivileged. The NGO is based in West Bengal, India. My sole responsibilities, more specifically, range from fund raising to fund allocation in required departments, in consultation with the team members.
2. Associated with another NGO, run by a friend, working on providing education to the tribal people in remote locations in India. I have successfully raised funds of more 0.014 million USD. We are also working with them on entrepreneurship skills to make them self-reliant.
Target School: Yale, Fuqua, Rice (because its in Houston), INSEAD ( can arrange a recommendation from an INSEAD Alumni), HEC Paris(can arrange a recommendation from HEC Alumni) St. Gallen, Mannheim, Rotterdam, ESADE(can arrange a recommendation from an ESADE Alumni), HHL Leipzig and IESE. Please suggest any other business schools that fits my profile.

Hello there good sir,
So you have a very nice profile, with work experience and a strong industry, and graduation from one of the best schools in India. I think your main weakness will be your GMAT score, which for an Indian candidate is a bit low. Nevertheless I think your school list overall is pretty reasonable, as you have some difficult schools some competitive schools and maybe even one safe school.
So now all you have to do is get your story together, make amazing essays, and apply!
You could also consider retaking the GMAT if that is an option.
I hope this helps,
Cheers,
Jon

Hello Sir,
I went ahead and retook my GMAT and scored 720. I applied UCLA Anderson in R3 and got rejected.
There has not been much change in my profile, as mentioned above, except my promotion to Lead specialist at GE and my reconsideration of my target schools. At present, I am targeting Duke ( Early Action), for its strong foundation in Energy, along with Darden and Texas McCombs ( both in R1). How do you see my chances in the listed schools ?
In addition, I also have an offer from one of the Big4. So do job change at this juncture have any negative impact on my application?
Regards,
