Hello,
I'm looking to apply to some American schools this round and next. Was hoping to identify some more schools to apply to and reinforce my strategy.
My profile is along the lines of -
25/M/Indian
4 years of full-time work ex as a Software Engineer in a large B2B Tech MNC in India
Diverse (but all very technical) projects. Some solid examples of leadership within and for the team, but nothing with a designated association
15+ Patent filings, 5+ Patent Grants, all from USPTO
Extracurricular at work: graphic design, large scale event management and hosting, marketing strategies, etc.
UG from Top Private (non-BITS) institute, 8.00/10 CGPA
Varied extracurriculars at a large scale, with leadership roles and titles
Zero community service/volunteering
GMAT: 720 (not inclined to give again, considering attempting the GRE before R2 Apps -> more my speed, confident of 330+)
What am I looking for in a school? More than anything else, opportunity. I want to stay in tech, so a school that can either provide good OCR/networking opportunities or has a strong tech-oriented alum base would be ideal. Beyond that, I do believe that most schools I am considering are relatively well known, and I would be okay going to a non-tech oriented school as long as its a solid brand.
Schools already applied to: ISB, NYU Stern
Schools I am considering for R1: Safe - Kelley, Emory, Foster; Target: Tepper, Duke, McCombs; Ambitious: Tuck
Other schools I am considering, mostly for R2: Ross (missed R1 deadline), Rotman, Anderson, Darden, KF, Johnson, Marshall. I think some of these will be a little ambitious for me, and a good GRE score, if available, can help.
What I want from you: Try and use the above information to help me figure out whether my choice of schools is misguided, and whether I should aim higher or lower.
Thanks in advance!

tripledorado:
Thanks for the post! Based on your profile, interests and list, I think the following schools would be a good choices for you:
(1) Kelley
(2) Emory
(3) Foster
Those are all good safety choices.
(4) Tepper (great choice!)
(5) Duke (may be more of a reach)
(6) McCombs
(7) Tuck - not sure how strong the tech contingency is...might hold on this one if I were you
Your profile should give you a shot at these programs. I'm less confident about Tuck as you also noted.
(8) Johnson is a great choice for tech especially if you can spend some time at Cornell tech in NYC.
(9) Marshall and Anderson are smart for being west-coasted. What about Haas? Probably a reach but might be a better fit than Tuck?
The others you listed are fine, but don't tend to scream tech. You don't NEED to apply to those too as the list above is strong enough and appropriately hedges your chances for admission.

I would like you to evaluate my profile,
Female,23 years of age

12th grade : 83%
college:9.0/10
internship:1 Year
graduated in :2020
gre:322
volunteering exp:one year ( 6 months each at two different ngo's)
I am a Btech computer science engineering graduate from a top university.I have an internship of 1 year from an information security solutions company.I graduated in 2020 and now I am applying for masters in management degree for 2022 fall intake.I am applying to hec,essec,esade,Lbs,lse,melbourne business school,waterloo university in the second round of admissions.Can I know the possibility of entering into my top admits.
ps. Will I have a higher chance of getting into hec and essec if I apply in first round of admissions because I still have time till oct 19th.(I am confused whether I should apply in first round or second round).I am applying to lbs in second round because the first round of deadlines are closed already.
Applying in second round because I will be able to get a management related internship(6 months)by that time, thought that It would help my profile. Can you tell me if im too ambitious or being a little misguided with my school choices for the mim programme.Feel free to suggest schools in the europe and uk.
Thank you.
