Can you please evaluate my profile and give me some suggestions?
I plan to apply for September 2017 session.
Nationality- Indian
Age- 26
Gender- Male
GMAT- 680(Q49, V33)
- 710(Q50, V34)
Graduation- Mechanical Engineer with 2.76/4 GPA
Work Experience- 4 years, will be 5.5 by the time of enrollment
Owner of Polymer India- We deal with various types of industrial packaging products(like Pail Containers, Hdpe bottles, Pet bottles, Hdpe Drums) & Recycling plastic raw material(HDPE, LDPE, PP). Our suppliers are companies who deal with pesticides and chemicals, so quality has been one of our trademark from the very first day.
P.S- This is not a family business. It's an enterprise started solely by me after my graduation.
Key Responsibilities-
Maintaining relationships with suppliers as well as distributors.
Held numerous training seminars to teach as well as learn from the staff of manufacturing unit as well as office staff- These seminars not only increased the knowledge of everyone but increased productivity and led to better team work and understanding in everyone.
Ensuring product specifications and quality remain up to date.
Devising new promotional activities and schemes for marketing the products.
Ensuring all the billing and paperwork is done in a systematic way.
Achievements-
Increasing the product portfolio from five products in 2012 to more than fifty products today.
Improved designs and high quality increased the turnover by more than 200% in three years(In the first year, i designed a mold of pail container which not only reduced the weight of the container by more than a 100grams but also maintained the same strength- a design which is followed by all our competitors today)
Reducing the manufacturing costs by more than 50% in the span of two years.
The growth of the team from five members in 2012 to more than thirty members today.
Other Activities-
Presently learning French- course A1
Worked on a project titled "Benchmarking Automobile Industry" for Mahle Filters India for 4 months
Stood first in Junkyard competiton organised by our University
Active member of Kreyan- an NGO which aims at working towards underprivileged and blind children since the last 2 years. Primary responsibility includes teaching the kids, development of their character.
My target Schools in order of preference-
1) Wharton
2) Chicago Booth
3) Kellogg
4) Columbia
5) Hass
6) Tuck
7) Duke
8) NYU Stern
I still have got to do a lot of research on the right school for me that suits my aims.
I know my Gmat is on the lower side. How much more do you think i should aim for?
Also, what are my chances for scholarship? Can improving my score help me in that?
Please give me your feedback for my next step.
Thank You

Thanks for sharing your profile.
A higher GMAT would help address the lower than the average GPA at the top MBA programs. It would show your academic potential. Also, you are coming from a competitive pool of applicants so scoring 30-40 points above the average of your target school would help make your application competitive.
Next step, would be to define your post-MBA goal, how an MBA at the target program would help achieve this, and show how this fits with your previous experiences. Showing the unique contributions you can bring to the class discussions and to your peers would also help make you stand out.
Wish you all the best!

Thanku for your reply
I'm writing my exam again in a couple of days.
Just for curiosity, will a score of 740 be sufficient to get me somewhere in top 10 US schools?
Also, I've one more query. The top CGPA in my graduation batch was 3.4. I was 6th in a batch of 60 students.
Do B-Schools take that into account or do they just take the CGPA into consideration?
