Hi,
I would like to request a profile evaluation, and advice regarding my choice of colleges and other suggestions regarding the same.
I'm a 26 year old Indian male with close to 3 years of work experience at the moment. My highest education qualification is a PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) with a 3.12/4 CGPA.
I spent about 2 years and 7 months working at MedPlus as a Management Trainee in the full scope of a Category Manager. It is one of India's largest pharmaceutical retail chains. I'm currently working as a Third Party Resource for PwC as an Internal Auditor (Associate) and it's been just 2 months in this role currently.
During my PGDM course, I interned at a marketing company as a Content Strategist Intern, and at an NGO as a Stuednt Intern, and also was a member of some clubs and committees during my college years and PGDM course.
I got a 710 in the GMAT Classic Exam around August 2023, a 90%ile at the time of taking the exam, and I don't intend to retake the test, at least for the time being.
I'm interested in pursing the MBA program for the 2025 intake, specifically from the UK or the US. And I am looking to get into the management consulting or SCM fields, although am keeping my options open. But I would really love to get into one of the MBB firms. My main college target is LBS, but open to considering Oxford in the UK. As for the US, I don't have too much of an idea. Kellogg, Cornell and Columbia are among my considerations, but would really love some suggestions here.
Please help me in evaluating my profile, and please provide any suggestions/ recommendations/ advice pertaining to choice of colleges and applications.
Thank you.

Thank you for reaching out to us.
Can you tell us more about your undergraduate degree? What field? GPA?
LBS is a possibility, but I would classify it as a reach. Columbia and Kellogg are similarly difficult. Your GMAT score is good, but it's not stellar for these schools. Plus, you are coming from a competitive demographic.
Cornell, on the other hand, feels much more attainable. That is a good choice. Would you also consider schools such as Michigan (Ross), Washington (Foster), Texas (McCombs), and UCLA (Anderson) to start? Those are much more comfortably in your range and place students as top consultancies.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your reply. My grades for my 10th and 12th grades are 89.3% and 92.6% respectively. I did my undergrad in BCom from Mithibai College (University of Mumbai) and secured a CGPA of 5.88/7, 66.43%, and was a member of a club during the time, engaging in organising various college related events.
Also, what is your opinion on Oxford in UK for their MBA program to get into the MBB firms. Also, could you give any tips or suggestions to improve my profile, if that would help my chances at LBS?
Thank you.
