Profile Evaluation

Hi Justdoit2019,

Thank you for your post. (Please note that any previous replies you might have seen here did not come from a representative of Avanti Prep.)

I do agree with one of those posts, however, that there isn't very much information to go off of here. For example, what kind of public sector organization do you work for, and what kind of engineering do you do? What key projects have you worked on and impact have you had? Have you been promoted? What kind of extracurricular activities were you involved in college, what roles did you play, and more important than those, what have you been involved in post-college? Beyond all of that, it's also difficult to size up your chances without knowing your GMAT score, or at the very least where you think it might land.

If you are new to GMAT Club (and possibly the global MBA admissions landscape), then I would encourage you to read through the links below. The first few will give you a sense of how applicants from India generally fare at top schools, and what kind of profiles tend to make people competitive. The last one will give you an idea of how to think about your career goals, schools, why you need an MBA, and the passion and purpose behind your goals. As noted above, your leadership and community engagement are super important as well.

As you will see in the posts below, being competitive at T10 level schools can require a 760+ GMAT score (with 740+ as something of a de facto baseline), strong performance at a top undergraduate institution, blue-chip professional and extracurricular experiences and leadership, and superb application execution and recommendations. You will also see what "being competitive" means from an admissions chances perspective. Your applicant pool (Indian, male, engineer) is the most competitive out there, so differentiation is very difficult and the top 10 is very difficult, especially when you're not coming by way of top-tier pre-MBA experience.

Let's see where your GMAT score lands, and then we can have a more specific conversation about what range of schools you should consider. It will almost certainly behoove you to look beyond the T10, possibly significantly so. But it's a little premature to assess the exact range just yet.
