I am a Major in the Indian Army with 7+ years of experience. Academically, I hold a BCom (Hons) from Delhi University (69%) (low score considering that I was totally focussed on UPSC at that time and neglected my college subjects), a PG Diploma in Military Management (First Division), and a PG Diploma in Military Ordnance & Applications (A Grade), hoping that my gmat score and PGDM scores cover for my low grades in graduation.
Work experience(s):
For Extra Co-curriculars I actively engage in badminton, having won accolades in the military, and play tennis and squash at a decent level. I also have some experience with golf and enjoy playing football and cricket at a competitive level. Beyond sports, I am passionate about horse riding and 10m air pistol shooting, though not at a professional level. Outside of physical pursuits, I am an avid reader and often express my thoughts through poetry.
[size=100]Before joining military I have spearhead my college's commerce society and was actively involved in college elections having won a seat for self too but now post 8-10 years, I am uncertain whether my pre-military experience would still hold value in my MBA application.
I am yet to appear for Gmat but will likely score north of 685.
I am aiming for 2026 MBA admissions, with Imperial, Oxford said, LBS, and INSEAD as my top choices, and Warwick as a fallback option in the UK. I am not particularly hopeful about T-15/T-20 schools, as I am unsure what they would expect from my profile. I am also considering Melbourne Business School, though I am very uncertain about its international standing. There is only a slight chance that I would stay back in India, in which case ISB would be an option. With over a year to refine my profile, I intend to align it with the expectations of these top business schools.
I am looking to transition from the military to the corporate world, leveraging my leadership, strategic planning, and crisis management experience. Through an MBA, I aim to explore roles in consulting, project management, HR, or operations, ultimately choosing the path that aligns best with my skills and interests as I gain exposure to these fields during the program.
Would really appreciate any advice

Hi. I would suggest not double-posting or triple posting to everyone. Consultants are very smart people. They see you are spamming this to everyone. They know you don't care or have any loyalty. You will similarly get the same treatment back.

I understand and respect your point. I posted on multiple threads because I was unsure if I’d get a response on just one, and I felt that engaging in different discussions would increase my chances of receiving diverse perspectives on my profile. Being new to this platform and the forum format, I wasn’t aware that consultants might perceive it as spamming or a lack of commitment. Taking your feedback into account, I’ve deleted the other posts, leaving only two. I genuinely appreciate your insight and would love to hear your thoughts on my profile.
