Hi,
I would really appreciate your thoughts on my profile. Any feedback/advice is welcome and extremely appreciated. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read!
Demographic: 25 year old Asian male
Academics: MS (4.0 GPA)/BS (3.90 GPA) in industrial engineering and operations research at uc berkeley
GRE: V161, Q170, AW: 5 (equivalent to 750 GMAT)
Work Experience: Worked at google for 2 years as a payments and risk management analyst (promoted once, consistent rankings). Created and managed a team of vendors in India. Transitioned to a career in data science within google last year, helped launch and grow our paid subscriptions business (promoted again) and will be here for another year while applying to bschool (total 3.5 years before start of bschool).
Extracurricular/personal: Volunteer experience teaching English to students in Taiwan. Started a computer science club for third to fifth graders at a nonprofit in SF. Huge fan of music (blogger, music curator for a worldwide music collective).
Career Goals: become a growth product manager focused on using data analytics to grow and scale smaller size tech companies (learn the interpersonal skills of what it takes to being a manager) or transition to a career in consulting heading up big data analytics
Long term goal: to work in VC with a focus on early- and growth-stage investments in the consumer technology space.
Schools: (looking to apply R1 2016): stanford, harvard, wharton, u. of chicago, mit, columbia, kellogg
debating if i should apply to haas (and get a third degree from the same school) or an international school for the network/experience, something like insead?

Hi there!
You have a very strong profile. Top 10 schools are definitely in reach for you, though Stanford could still be quite tough just cause it's Stanford
So if you want another West Coast / Bay Area option, then Haas would be a good one to add (though if you prefer to diversify your network I understand why you might leave it off). Your work experience sounds great, especially with the multiple promotions and Google brand name. Excellent GPAs and GRE too - well done! I like the extracurriculars and passion for music, that's a nice bonus to help you stand out. I really see no red flags or major concerns.
I think your only challenge may be time! 7, potentially 8, schools in one round is a lot of work! So hopefully you are getting started now on brainstorming and application strategy. Stanford, HBS, Columbia and Haas all have their essay questions out now so those are the ones to start with!
Feel free to PM me or sign up for a free phone consult at the link in my signature if you need help planning out your next steps. Otherwise good luck!

what is the best way to evaluating what schools I should apply to? I will admit that a lot of the initial school selection was influenced by rankings but are there others criterias I should be looking at?
my top school is stanford because of the tech scene in the bay area and is align with both my short term and long term goals of wanting to work in the tech sector. i also do know that wharton, for instance, specializes in finance (which was initially my hesitation to applying and consideration of swapping it out with haas).
any other specialities that specific schools are known for?
thank you again for taking the time to read!
