I am a male engineer (Electrical/ Power) from India.
Work experience: 8 yrs+ (including rotation engineering program in US for 2 years, international experience in Germany for 2+ years). First 2 years out of undergrad were with public sector companies in India. One in a manufacturing role and the other contracts and procurement capacity. Currently working in US for the last 2 years as technical marketing and applications engineer and have been nominated to the technical ladder in the company. 2 promotions in the last 6 years with the company (semiconductor).
Education: Bachelors from IIT Kharagpur, Masters in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M Univ.
Age: 33
Accomplishment: Co-author of a technical book chapter, lead inventor of a patent, co-author of several technical papers and magazine articles
Extra-curricular: Working as a mentor with an education non-profit and engineering non-profit (both recently started)
GMAT score: Not taken yet
Language: English (fluent), Hindi (fluent), German (intermediate)
Leadership: I have led several projects without a formal title. I was leading a couple of projects back when I was working in Germany. One of them involved people working out of Germany, France and China.
Reason for MBA: slow growth in my field and I feel I can contribute a lot more than what my role allows. So I want to expand my skill set and accelerate my career trajectory.
Post MBA: Product management
I am planning on applying to a program in the next couple of years. I know my age, demographic and engineering background (I like to say I'm different as I work in core electrical engineering and not IT) is working against me but how are my chances in an M7 program?
Thanks!

Hi, and thanks for writing! Your work experience is progressive, and it's great to see so much international experience. Your competitiveness will depend on the GMAT score in part (I'd say 740+ to be in consideration for M7), but I do think your 8+ years will make it challenging. I'm thinking that you may have a better shot with a one-year tech-focused MBA program (which several schools, including Cornell, Stern, and very recently Kellogg have introduced). Hope that helps for now - do let me know of any other questions.

I recently obtained my permanent residence and was awarded another patent. Does that change anything?
Also, I'm taking GMAT in August. So far, two official CATs have been 730 and 750.
