Hi,
First thing first, Thanks for this wonderful thread!
I need help in understanding my chances at Top 10 B-Schools (Sept 2015 entry). Below are details of my profile:
Academics
B.Tech 2005 (Electrical Eng) : 71 % (Gold Medalist)
M.tech 2008 (IIT Delhi, India) : 8.44 (GATE exam All India Rank 46 out of ~30,000 candidates)
GMAT : Planned, July 2014; based on GMAT PREP +ve about 720
Work Ex
• Years: 7 years (As on Sept 2014), Research and Development, Tata Motors Ltd., India
• Designation: Manager (Development)
• Profile: Working on product development area, mainly on the new generation of Hybrid and Electric Vehicle development
• Achievement: Few publications in the conference/magazine which are very well acknowledged in the respective field (E.g. SAE, IEEE, ATZ etc). I am a Talent Pool employee in the present company (~15 out of 40,000 employee every year get into talent pool) and got to attend Executive Management Training program at one of the premium Indian B School (That’s where started realizing importance of doing MBA to complete my skill + knowledge set for future endeavor and in the career progress)
Extra Curricular
• I worked as a full time "SBI Youth For India” fellow (2011-2012) in the rural development space. It’s a 1 year fellowship, with a focus on rural development. I took a sabbatical from my present employer and worked on livelihood project. 28 fellows were selected from all across India. I could publish one paper on the work done under this fellowship in STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT FORUM of IIM Kozhikode (Under Top 8 B school from India); titled “Rural Local Retail: An innovative, self sustainable Social Business Model in Vegetable Business”
• Completed Paragliding pre-pilot level
• Completed French Level 1 certification
Certification
No international level certification; however Level 2 patent specialist Under TATA GROUP IP Management Program.
Target Program
Harvard……………………………… Stanford, MIT, LBS, INSEAD; As my school research is not extensive I would also like to know which are other schools where my profile and career goal would match
When you plan to apply
R1 Oct 2014
Your post-MBA goal
My long term goal is to start up a company in the area of Product Development ( To give a perspective, product development company like 3M)
With my work experience and Technical Education background I have developed the knowledge set required for such a venture however I am looking at following aspect to be covered by attending B-School:
1. Present and past student Network and prospective business partner
2. School name and the creditability with that to start new venture
3. Skill set to manage the business and required exposure
4. Peer Learning and divers thinking
If this doesn’t happen in immediate future (Post MBA) then I would like to join a Management Consultancy firm or a corporate position in Strategy and Planning vertical; which in long term would help me in setting up my firm.
I would like to understand how fair are my chances in Ivy-8 or above mentioned schools?
And which other schools you find would suitable for my profile?
I guess that’s all !!!
I sincerely thanks for all your time and efforts and waiting for your reply. (Moderator + Consultant)

HarryIITD,
You have a strong profile: strong-enough GMAT (assuming you hit 720 or higher), good branding (Tata Motors, IIT), managerial title/role, extra sizzle (hybrid/electric), etc. The only potential weakness I see is your apparent lack of a current extracurricular leadership role. Given that you're aiming high, you might want to shore that part of your profile up. Schools like MIT, LBS, INSEAD, and -- I would suggest: Kellogg, IMD, perhaps Wharton -- should be in play for you. HBS and Stanford may be doable if we can find an 'angle' -- such as an interesting personal story, extracurricular, or post-MBA goal. Feel free to send me your resume/CV for more feedback.
