Hi Linda,
Here is my profile:
Age: 23
Ethnicity: Indian
GMAT: N/A
CGPA: 2.6. (Trending upwards. 2.65 in 3rd year, 2.9 in 4th year. Low GPA partly because my mum had an accident in 1st year, but mostly because I was far too immature).
Major/School: Electrical engineering/School ranked between top 5-10 in North America in the last few years.
Work exp: 2 years at the time of application in railroad industry in an engineering/project management role. F500 company.
Post MBA career: Transportation banking (ideally at MS/GS or Macquarie Group).
College ECs: Intramural rugby team, student government, winner at case competitions
Post college: Alumni mentor, volunteer consulting, volunteer seminar leader for freshman engineering classes, professional society (all in all about 8-10 hours/week).
Targeting:
Tier 1 (H/S/W): Stanford
Tier 2 (Rest of M7): Tuck, Booth
Tier 3 (Rest): Stern/Columbia, Ross/Duke, Ivey (in Canada)
Assuming a GMAT of 700+, am I being realistic in my school choices and goals?
Thanks for your time!

Sorry, but I think you are aiming too high even if you have a 700+ GMAT, depending on how high above 700. If you want to aim for these programs a career in IB, I recommend you work in a related field for 3-4 years and also try to take some graded classes and earn A's in them. I don't know if that is possible in India. If you can't take classes, then prepare for the CFA. Something to show you know how to discipline yourself and study. This will also put several solid years between your application and your undergraduate record.
Best,
Linda

Sorry if I was a bit unclear in my post.
I actually went to a top engineering school in Canada (Waterloo/Toronto). And I am a Canadian of Indian descent working in Canada.
I guess your advise still holds?
