Hi,
Academics: B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (82%) with distinction from Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore (within Top 30 engineering colleges in India)
GMAT: 680
Work Experience:
After graduating, I got a placement into Tata Consultancy Services and worked for 1.5 years (Outstanding contributor award, Employee of the quarter, Client appreciation award etc). I was exposed to multi cultural work ambience and was the youngest SME(Suject matter expert) on Data warehousing/Analytics.
But my natural propensity was towards entrepreneurship and after taking some loan and personal savings, opened my own firm which deals in manufacturing electronic spare parts and trading Public address electronic equipments, slowly but steadily, I worked my heart out and nurtured this baby whose age is 5.5 years currently, and now my baby's annual turn over is over 7 million USD. I, currently employee more than 25 people (and this was my dream "providing employment" rather than "being employed").
In this journey, I have several stories of both hardship (Example : not sleeping over 36 hours straight to deliver my first tender contract and how I did those things with limited avenues) and of sweet success.
Total work exp: 7+ years
Short term goal: Take my firm from "regional status" to "national status" in terms of sales and revenue generated.
Long term goal: Provide employement to 1000 people by expanding my business in not only trading electronic equipments but also in logistics( providing efficient Supply chain and logistics to companies)area.
Target school: Kellogs, Booth, Kelley, ISB, Anderson.
Kindly provide your honest feedback in my case, as I am looking for an admit for 2016 (as you can see I'd like to plan everything in advance)?

Soooo dude,
As I started to read your profile, I was thinking to myself: IT? 680? Indian? There's no way this dude is gonna get in to a school like Kellogg!
But then I read further. And I have to say, you have a great story, and I really like the way you present yourself: Your goal of expanding to 1000 employees, your desire to be en employer rather than an employee, your hard work and your success! Basically I think your story is fantastic, but also the way you conceive of yourself as a leader. And I think with your story you can work wonders.
Now, is this enough for you to get into a Top 10 school like Kellogg with a GMAT that is 40 points below the average (and probably more for an Indian applicant)? That, I'm not sure. But I think with your story, even with your current GMAT you can take your shot, but if you remain by this GMAT I would highly recommend that you expand your target school list to Top20 or Top 30 (BTW Babson might be a nice option for you, given their highly-ranked entrepreneurial program).
Of course, since you are only going to do this once, you should ALSO be considering whether it might be a good idea to take the GMAT again or not. You have enough time to study more before R1 (although I'm guessing you are very busy at your work
). Allow me to share some thoughts with you specifically about Indians and the GMAT: https://bit.ly/B613MgcSo think about that. And my take is that if you think you can do better, you should retake.
But otherwise I like what I see!
Best,
JF
