Hey, I'm thinking of applying to some MiM schools next year (2020-21 cycle). This is what my profile looks like. Can someone help me out with the sort of schools I should target, if any? I am absolutely clueless with regard to international business schools.
GMAT: 760 on the practise test
GPA: 75%
School: IIM Indore (top 5 B-Schools of India), BA (Foundations of Management) [fairly selective, takes 120 from ~20000 applicants]
Extracurriculars: President of the Treasury of the Students' Council
Convener of flagship Strategy Consulting event
Vice President of Consulting Club
Captain of Debating Team
Founder and lead of undergraduate research forum of the institute
Also hold a couple of team lead positions on finance and participation teams in college fests.
Maintain two blogs on economics
Won some B-School competitions, nothing too impressive. Also won some debates.
Communication skills: decent.
Two research projects with potential to publish, but nothing too certain as of now.
Some community social work such as zoo clean ups, underprivileged children scholarship test organization, disable children teaching, tree plantations etc.

Hi GalladeAggron,
Upon having an overview of your profile, it’s evident that your profile is quite decent.
Your GPA, GMAT practice test score, bachelor’s degree from IIM Indore all make up a fairly good combo. However, you shall note that having a tag of IIM is commendable, but you should consider that you would be competing against applicants from institutions of equivalent repute like BITS & IIT.
Moreover, a GMAT score above 700 is considered a good score to target round 1.
Also, your active involvement in extracurricular activities is quite noteworthy and would help you showcase your leadership and initiative-taking capabilities. More specifically, the tags like President, Lead, and Founder draw more emphasis to your profile. The research projects you undertook is another captivating feature to portray how you went above and beyond in your application.
However, where your profile seems to lack is in the area of work experience/internships. Try to work and/or get involved with a renowned brand preferably.
Speaking of MiM schools, ESSEC, IE, ESCP, HEC, DUKE, LBS, etc are good schools to target for the MiM degree program and, of course, there are many more reputable schools on the list but it would be great if you take a profile evaluation to understand which school fits your profile perfectly.

I do have internships, I seem to have missed them in this post
Work experience:
Research Internship at IIM Ahmedabad (Indian Business School)
Internship at Center for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE.CO) (Incubator/Accelerator/Investment Fund)
Business Development Internship at a start-up
Considering these, would you recommend a set of schools which could act as safeties (guaranteed admission) or backups (high chances of getting in)? I assume the HEC/LBS type of schools will be very difficult to get in?
I thought of Stockholm School of Economics, Antwerp School of Management and Frankfurt School of Finance and Management as backups? ESMT also crossed my mind but I'm not sure if I'm a good fit. What do you think of my chances at these places?
