MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Hi,
Could you please evaluate my profile for the below colleges I'm applying to? I was looking for MBA in Business process excellence, management consulting..
Nationality - Indian
Work Experience : 2.5 yrs of IT experience in Accenture India
I work as an A&H Support Analyst, which basically means that we help maintain the client business and fix any of the business outages based on the priority bugs we receive. The work I do currently revolves around the IT technology.
Added to this I handle process improvements and have implemented several process improvements which brought down the bugs count by 5-10 bugs per month on average (10-20% reduction in bug/month).
Also being the most senior member in the team, I mentor younger resources in speeding up the bug resolutions, help them communicate effectively to the clients throughout the Europe etc…
I’m still engaged in bringing improvements in other areas such as Release Management, Configuration Management, Quality of the services delivered etc and had foundation trainings in Six sigma
GMAT 650 (Q49, V29)
Academics
GPA (7.6/10) from one of the top universities in India (VTU, Karnataka) in Information Science and Engineering
Extracurricular
I have junior certifications in Guitar
I have conducted gaming events for 2 years while I was in college
As part of the GPTW activities (Great Place To Work) in Accenture, I have participated in the inter project cricket league and our team won a runner up trophy in the competition and myself being a key contributor in the batting line up. I have bagged to man of the match award
Apart from work, I'm one of the quality champ activities where we monitor teams across the project for the quality of the work delivered is upto the standards and suggest improvement areas.
Schools I'm looking for
1) Indiana Kelley - Consulting
2) Iowa Tippie - Strategic Innovation
3) Schulich - York University
4) SMU Cox - Operaions Management
5) Purdue - Krannert - Operations Management
I'm not sure about the concentrations for the last 2-3 schools, but can you suggest based on my exp, what would be the ideal concentration.
Thanks,
Sandeep

With a GMAT score of 650, your goal of working in management consulting, at least with a top firm, is not really viable. Other than that, your targeted schools seem to be within your range given your background and experience. As for concentrations at specific schools, that is something you have to decide. In your apps, I'd suggest emphasizing the leadership skills you've developed (e.g., mentoring, communication skills).

In terms of what kinds of courses to concentrate in during an MBA program, you might want to focus on the basics of general management. Managers will be basically the people who you will have to work with, and understanding their background and how to work with them will be important.
