Hi, I saw some great replies on some profile evaluation here. Can you give your valuable feedback on my profile as well?
Profile : GMAT 730, Indian 28M, Undergrad CGPA: 6.8
Engineering Background Tier 1 Engg college,
Experience : 5 years of Exp across 3 Industries, 6 years in Aug 2024. All startups no MNC.
1 yr in a Pharma consulting firm working for US pharma Clients as a Business Analyst.
2 yr in a Logistics Unicorn in india as a Senior Analyst (1 promotion Analyst ---> Senior Analyst).
2 yr in a Social Media startup (1 Promotion APM ---> PM).
Now working in UK as a Product Lead in a Fintech Unicorn
Few ECs : Govt. of India, College football player, and volunteering in few NGOs like Teach for India, MAD
I want to do MBA in US in the top 25 colleges.
Goals : Primary Goal - Consulting (Strategy role in MBB or some boutique consulting firms). I Want my MBA to Break into Strategy roles in consulting companies in US.
I think i have a few transferable skills from my past Roles that can contribute towards my goal.
Secondary Goal - PM at Amazon/apple.
- I feel Consulting is too generic and would push my application more towards that typical Engineer male profile than away from it. Would it be easier to get
admitted, if i stick with my Secondary goal (Product Management in big tech company like Amazon) because of my exp in the same field.
Or is Strategy consulting just fine?
- Can i Aim for US top 25 colleges? Is yes Which US colleges should i target?
- Do you have any advice regarding how can tailor my application to be 'unique' in this pool for these colleges.
- Also Would having a GRE/EA score help? Do i have a better chance at being accepted if i apply with 320-330 GRE score rather than a 730 GMAT?
Let me know if you need any other info. I would really appreciate your few cents. TIA

Hello Beingstoic,
Your profile is pretty interesting. You have good test scores (GMAT) and your varied experience across several industries is indicative of the kinds of profile that Business schools are interested in.
However, I don't see any mention of extra curricular activities. This is important and gives an indication of how rounded you are as a candidate. B-schools are looking for candidates who not only excel professionally but also contribute to their community.
Concerning your question, there are several schools you can target that will land you either in a Strategy Consulting role or in a tech Firm as a PM. Typically, any school ranked within the top 25 can land you that role. While some schools such as Darden School of Business, Harvard, MIT etc are known hubs for targeted recruiting for several firms, it is VERY POSSIBLE to land jobs at firms of your choice even if you don't attend the top 10 schools.
At TitanR, we help candidates craft a compelling application that would help them get into their desired school of choice.
