Hi all,
Request to evaluate my profile for the college.
Mentioned below are my details.
Please let me know which schools I can consider as safety, target and stretch.
I am only applying to Tepper, Duke and Columbia in R1 as I have missed deadlines of several schools in R1.
I am also considering moving Tepper to R2 as I will be applying to better schools in R2. If admitted to Tepper either I will have to accept the admit and pay the deposit (which I will have to forego incase I get into better school ) or reject the admit. Please suggest.
Personal Details: 25 M (Indian)
Academic:
GRE- 336 ( Q-170, V-166)
B.E. (Electrical Engineering) from IIT Delhi (Top Engineering College in India) - 7.7/10
WE - 4 years at the time of intake
Professional:
Worked 1.5 years straight out of college at Samsung R&D
- Worked as a software engineer to develop bluetooth systems.
- Picked up cross-functional tasks to work with teams across engineering, vendors and project managers
Working for the past 2 years at Goldman Sachs Bengaluru office as a software analyst
- Worked with multiple stakeholders across divisons to remediate operational risks of electronic trading systems.
Extra-curriculars:
- Was part of University field hockey and dance teams which won several competitions
- Also held leadership position in Dance club
- Was a manager at a student run NGO, handling a 3-tier team of 40+ volunteers across colleges in Delhi.

Of those schools, Columbia is a reach. It's quite competitive. You'll get a look but should consider it a stretch.
Duke (Fuqua) is a realistic possibility, so say Target/Low Reach.
Tepper feels like a good safety choice.
What other schools are you considering for Round 2? What are your career goals?

My post MBA goal is to work in Tech. I am also willing to explore options in MBB consulting space.
The other schools I am considering are
Stretch - Sloan, Hass
Target - Ross, NYU, Tuck
However, I am worried that if I get into Tepper before my R2 results I will have to pay a deposit which would be sunk cost incase I get admit in any other schools in R2. So I am wondering I should apply to Tepper in R2 since it is a safety play.
Does applying R1 or R2 make a difference to the financial aid offered?
