Hello Friends,
I am planning to apply for the MBA program for the 2010 intake. Please look at my profile and suggest if I need to focus on any specific areas. Also, review the college list and suggest if I there are options I am not considering. Are any of the B-Schools I am looking at a far reach for me ?
Profile:
12th Class: 95%
B.E. (Hons) Electrical and Electronics & M.Sc (Hons) Physics from one of the top 5 colleges in India. Graduated with around 3.6 (GPA)
GMAT: 700 (Q50 V34) AWA: 6.0
TOFEL: Took this over 5 years ago and got 287/300. Need to re-take TOFEL in the new format
Work Experience: 6 and ½ years by the time I join in 2010.
Work Profile:
I am working as a Project Lead for over 3 years for a major European Chip Design Company, for its Automotive Design Group. I am the Lead Designer for the product and thus, I lead the technical and management of the product design which has defined a new platform of products. I am also, the Project Lead for its derivative product.
As a Project Lead, I handle all issues from project planning, feasibility study, project budgeting, product architecture definition, customer queries etc. The entire project team is based out of 3 different geographical locations across the globe. I manage and co-ordinate the functioning of various teams and align them to the project deadlines and deliverables.
The technical challenges have produced 2 new ideas from my design team which are in the process of being patented by the company.
Before joining the existing company, I worked with an American Chip Design company for 2 years the core design group. Then I moved to the company where I am working now.
International Experience:
I have worked in Belgium for 6 months with a University research lab as part of a collaborative effort between the company and university.
I have visited Austria and Italy numerous times as part of my responsibility as a Project Lead with various product related issues.
I also was one of the two students from my University who was chosen to do a project with a research lab in Italy to work towards my Masters thesis.
My total international exposure has been with teams from over 5 geographical locations and over 2 years.
Other Initiatives:
I have co-founded a Non-profit organization which works towards
a) Developing a democratic platform for children, and
b) For environmental issues in the city
The approach is to sensitize children to the issues of today and help them evolve into responsible citizens of the country.
I am also part of a core group people, a partnership between the Govt. and the civil society. This group works towards spreading awareness about various issues which impact the metropolitan life. This core group has various senior members of the Indian bureaucracy and accomplished members of various NGO.
I have co-authored a paper which has been accepted by an International Journal/Book on sustainable development practices.
Core Focus/ Motivation for an MBA:
As a practicing engineer my approach is scientific. So, I want to be associated with a sector with a technical orientation where I can bring together my engineering bent and my passion for environment and energy efficient solutions.
Thus, post my MBA, I want to work in the energy sector. I think there is scope for enormous innovative solutions which can optimize and make our life efficient. Smart and renewable energy solutions are the need of the hour.
I have identified universities which offer courses and electives where I can study the various aspects of energy and sustainable development.
1) Yale
2) Duke
3) Cornell
4) Northwestern
5) Ross
What are my chances in these universities? Are there any other universities which also offer such courses? Which universities can I assume will be a safe application?
Please advice.
Thank you.

My 2 cents.
You come under the competitive Indian IT male pool.Kellogg will be a stretch while other schools are within target if you can clearly explain why you want to move to Energy/Sustainabilty and link that with your background.
