Question

Country: India
GMAT: 770 (Q-51, V-44)
Undergraduate: 80%, BA (Honours) Economics, St. Stephen's College, University of Delhi, India (top ranked Economics program in the country and highly selective)
Work Experience: Investment Banking Internship at one of the largest banks in India (6 weeks), Management Consulting internship at one of the largest Indian consulting firms (4 weeks), Internship with Uber as their Student Campaign Manager of Delhi, Consulting and Research Internship with an international economic consulting firm called Econ One (4 weeks)
Clubs: Executive Council Member, Finance and Investment Cell

I also trade in equities and currency futures and thus have some in-depth knowledge of the workings of finance.

I also have great high school stats if those matter (was accepted to Cornell and NUS undergrad for Economics).

I'll be grateful for any comments. Thank you!

I think you stand a very good shot. Great GMAT (and split). Internships seems top notch. Very good UG (also good that you've been accepted by NUS and Cornell). Lot of good brands to include on your resume which will help the adcoms make their decision. Get some good recs and put together a good essay and I think you will get in. Might want to look at their new 18-month option as well. Might be more favorable for international students.

Thank you! I'll definitely try to put in a good app. I'm also applying to HEC, IE, Bocconi, and Oxford. Are there any others I should be applying to, say which rank alongside MIT's program?
Also, could you tell me if I stand a good chance at Oxford's MFE?
