Hi there,
I'm at that stage where I'd like to shortlist schools to apply to in Round 1.
1. Profile
Age : 25
Nationality: Indian male
Undergraduate: NIT Rourkela (Tier 1 institute in India) in Biomedical Engineering(6.9/10)
GMAT score: 740(Q50 V41)
Yet to attempt TOEFL
2. Work Experience: 4 years in IT for an MNC, working for one of the largest pharmaceutical companies based in the US.
Promoted 3 times and am currently leading a team of 4.
Along with IT functions, I network with customers across US, UK and Spain.
Mentor college graduates on business functions and general guidance.
3. Post MBA goal: PM roles in Tech companies that work in Healthcare. I believe my record of Biomedical engineering in UG and Pharma IT gives me a natural path for this.
4. Extracurriculars:
> Co-founded multiple clubs in College
> Created a Toastmaster's chapter, the first of its kind in the institute during UG.
> Lead a team of 25 students in a club that caters its services to over 4000 college students.
> Before the pandemic, volunteered weekends at a school for Low- income households near the office campus.
Advice needed:
1. I am targeting schools in the US, and am struggling to shortlist the right set of Dream/ Competitive/ Safe schools. Would like some advice on it.
2. Do my ECs in UG count? The reason my GPA is so low is solely because I put in so much effort in organizing events, co-founding clubs, and holding leadership positions at multiple levels.

kron0s:
Thanks for reaching out. Our responses to your questions:
1. I am targeting schools in the US, and am struggling to shortlist the right set of Dream/ Competitive/ Safe schools. Would like some advice on it.
A: You should look into the following programs (in order of general decreasing difficulty):
Northwestern Kellogg
UC Berkeley Haas
Duke Fuqua
NYU Stern
Michigan Ross
Georgetown McDonough
Cornell Johnson
Indiana Kelley
2. Do my ECs in UG count? The reason my GPA is so low is solely because I put in so much effort in organizing events, co-founding clubs, and holding leadership positions at multiple levels.
A: Yes, they do but they aren't a counterbalance to your lower GPA. You can offer this explanation in your optional essay, but I am not sure how effective that will sell to the AdCom. I believe your GMAT score and work experience will suffice to show you are technically capable of handling the rigors of the MBA curriculum. You do not want to come off as if you are making excuses.
Please reach out for a consultation if you would like to discuss more.
