Hi vaibhavijobalia,

Thank you for sharing your profile. Overall, you have interesting experiences that could help you succeed in the MBA application. However, you do require a bit more introspection on your goals (What are your professional goals? How does an MBA help you? Why an MBA now?). There will be some hurdles in the process, including years of work experience (Europe might prove difficult) and less active community engagement post graduation (i.e. currently not being engaged in service to others/a greater cause).

As to school recommendations, we require a deeper understanding of your background and ambitions before we can help guide your school selection. That said, you can reference this article to help you put together your target list. I hope this helps.

When you are ready to continue the conversation offline, please reach out to schedule a call.

Good luck!
