Hi,
I am Indian, male , 27 years old and applying for matriculating class of 2017 . My profile is as follows -
Academics - GMAT 750 (Q 49 V 42) B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from a NIT in India - 8 out of 10 GPA , graduated 1st class with distinction
Work Experience - 5 years of experience in operation and retail analytics, presently senior analyst in operation analytics at one of the world's largest mutual fund and financial services institution. Have got 3 promotions and the last one in the shortest duration to be eligible for promotion. Have lead a team of 4 in my previous job .Have won numerous awards and partner appreciation awards at both places.
My work primarily deals with US retirement industry and I directly report to a VP in USA and my daily work includes insights through data analysis and statistical modeling, and helping 41 managers across India and USA for resource planning of their 450 associates. For this I have traveled to USA two times for two weeks each to work closely with my partners. Also have mentored new hires.
Extra-curriculars - Have acted and co-directed short films in college and won awards for it. Was instrumental in setting up IEEE Chapter for my college and increase member base to 50 in 2 years. Member of the corporate social service club in both my companies. Love traveling and playing soccer and table tennis
Languages - English , Bengali, Hindi, Chinese (Basic)
Goals - Although I intend to switch to IB post MBA (ideally in one of the BBs and move on to PE later), I do not have any background in finance. Hence, I have kept Consulting as a backup option as it appears as a logical next step in terms of career progression. For this reason, I have narrowed down on schools which are have decent placements in both the functions - Ross, Tuck, Duke, Booth for R1 and Darden, NUS for R2.
Let me know of your opinion on my choice of schools and any other suggestion you might have. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for sharing your profile. You have a strong background that should play nicely at your listed programs with your strong GMAT/GPA. I would also consider taking a shot at Yale and Stern which should give you access your career goals
