A few reflections on your profile pk_157:
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
- The overall academic arc with good GPA and GMAT looks pretty nice. This should get you in striking range of good/top schools generally speaking.
- The work experience sounds good too. The international sojourns can add interesting elements to the mix. Do think about how you'd bring out the business impact of your intensely technical work though. It is not clear if the national/international accolades you mention are for work or education space?
- The leadership aspect of non-profit sounds good. But impact matters here too. Think about how you'd quantify it and present it. And see how you can ramp it up here on.
- For reasons mentioned here, we do not speculate on school selection. That being said, given your experience and MS aspects, the one important question is why not this year? Why wait? Hope that's not because of the R1 vs R2 thing?
- Finally, also bear in mind as to what within Product Management you are targeting. H/w to s/w transition may not be linear enough.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
