Hi, I am trying to get a better idea of what my school set should be and I wanted to see what y'all had to say:
Bio: 25 year old Indian-American Male
Education: 3.6 GPA in Liberal Arts Honors and Economics Honors from a large, public university
GMAT: 730 (47Q, 42V, 8 IR)
Citizenship: Dual US and Australian Citizen as well as an overseas citizen (OCI) of India. Technically, I'm "international" but culturally I consider myself very American.
Work Experience: At the time of application, I will have had 2.5 years at a top management consulting firm. Not MBB, but the tier right below -- Deloitte, Oliver Wyman, etc. Additionally, 6 months of the 2.5 years will have been a non-profit fellowship, where I lived and worked abroad in a developing country at a nonprofit focused on agriculture and farmer livelihoods. At both roles, I have been very successful and promoted as rapidly as possible (within the scope of the promotion cycle, etc.)
Thanks so much!

Hi! Lots of interesting things I see here, especially your "international" background, and the non-profit fellowship. Both are experiences that will show you adapting across cultures and schools will value that. Plus the latter shows you giving back to others. Your GPA / GMAT stats are really strong too. My only concern is that your work experience is a little on the light side, though it sounds like you've been promoted rapidly. Why is now the best time for your MBA? That will be important for you to articulate.
As for schools, I think your profile (based on what I see here!) is strong enough to target a few top 10 schools, with a few in the top 20 as backups. Which schools depend a lot on what's important to you, what your career goals are, etc. Feel free to write back (or send me a PM or sign up for a phone consult at the link in my signature) if you want to chat more about your specific school choices.
Cheers,
Kate
