Hi Alex,
I am planning to apply for admissions this year. I request you to kindly go over my brief profile and give feedback on the same. It would be great if you could suggest some schools where I have good chance of getting admitted.
My profile:
Age : 30
Nationality : Indian
Experience : 8+ (specifics below)
GMAT : first attempt - 680 (49Q, 34 V)
second attempt - 760 (48Q, 46V) [this is 3 months after the first attempt]
Undergrad : Engineering (Mechanical) with 78% from a not so famous university in India, ranked 3rd in class
Areas of Interest : Entrepreneurship (in Healthcare IT sector), marketing & strategy
Experience details:
5 years in IT services (software engineer, senior software engineer for a mid-size US based Indian software company). Good leadership experience here.
3 years in Healthcare IT (for a large multinational, in their healthcare equipment business unit. Not on software implementation side, but on the innovation side where I work with marketing and other teams to study market opportunities, mainly value-added-services and come up with solutions which will later be implemented by some other team/vendor). Not much official leadership experience here because most of the time I was in teams where the average experience of team members were 15+.
Extracurricular :
@college: student representative in career management cell, played key role in bringing companies to campus for recruitment.
played important role in college politics, organized campaigns for college union elections, and unsuccessfully ran for chairmanship
twice in organizing committee of a national level symposium competition organized by our department
@work: Started a alumni project sponsorship program at my college. Enlisted 7 other classmates to co-sponsor the project.
Started and ran a chapter of toastmasters at our office campus for more than 2 years.
One of the coordinators in my company's community involvement initiative.
Organized multiple outdoor activities (treks, leisure activities) for my team which is about 50 member strong
My main worries are my age, the undergrad university not being famous, and the chance of being put in the Indian/IT/male category though I have a slightly different background than the typical IT guy.
Thank you very much for your time!

Schools like Kellogg will be a stretch, but at least worth giving it a shot.
Schools where you'll have more success (and where you should really focus on ) are Duke, Darden, Ross, Haas, Cornell, Yale, NYU, UCLA. Choose 3-5 from this list.
You can't really worry too much about being "Indian IT" or not - what you need to focus on is how to best convey who you are as an individual, regardless of your background.

Hi Alex,
Thank you very much for spending time to look at my profile and giving the schools list. Duke, Darden, Ross, Haas & Yale were already on my list and since you too confirmed, I will be applying at these schools in the first round (probably in the December round for Haas and November round for Duke to reduce the workload on me as well as the recommenders). Further I plan to apply to 2-3 dream schools in the second round (January deadline). Is this a good strategy?
Best regards,
Arun
