Your profile has some challenges, particularly with academic consistency, gaps, and backlogs, but a strong GMAT score (735) can significantly improve your chances. Top 20 U.S. MiM programs value well-rounded candidates, so highlight resilience, leadership, and skills gained during your gap years. Address gaps and setbacks in your essays, showcasing personal growth and determination. Strong internships, extracurriculars, and recommendation letters will also help. Targeting mid-tier schools as safeties is advisable. Strengthen your application with impactful experiences.

Hi Ujjwal1,

Considering the gaps in your profile and your age, MiM programs may not be straightforward; your focus should purely be on telling your story well and widening your list of schools to include some mid-ranked European schools as well. The top few schools in the US are way too competitive.

Hope this helps.

All the best!
