Hey there, I am an Indian Male with an IT cum technology consulting background. Total WE 48 months.
Currently working with a Big 4 as a SAP consultant and a team lead. Got promoted twice in 3 yrs
Have worked for and implemented SAP suite for automobile manufacturing, Banking and service based clients from Europe and the US.
Travelled to the US twice for client go-lives. Been interacting with international clients for more than 3 yrs.
Planning to attend the class of 2021 (starting next yr 2019). Taking up GMAT arnd July this year, hoping for 710-720. Undergrad gpa arnd 3.2, non IIT
My post MBA goals include :
1. Strategy consulting at Deloitte, PwC Strategy &, AT Kearney etc. (MBB is distant)
2. Product strategy and mgmt at tech companies like SAP, Oracle, Workday, FAANG etc.
I know both these goals maybe look quite different but, I have gone thru them for a year now and thts what appeals to me. I wanna do one of them, in tht order.
Does tht look feasible as an international student in Trump's US, given the struggles
Am looking at following univs:
McCombs ----> Grp 1 (Dream)
Emory
Vanderbilt Owen
Fosters --------> Grp 2 (Stretch)
USC Marshall
Georgia Tech Scheller
Indiana Kelley
Mays
Mendoza --------> Grp 3(Reach Stretch)
UC Irvine Merage
Simon ------> Grp 4 (Reach Safe)
Any changes or addition to the targets as per my goals? (I'll have to select 7-8 of these)

I think with your profile you should be in play at the schools you have listed, the higher you are on the GMAT the better you will be with your dream schools but your range is already on the top end of your schools 80% range. Your application will also be a very serious part of your candidacy so take your essays in particular very seriously and put your best efforts here, this will be the main means to help you stand out

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your profile! As an Indian male applicant with a technology background, you will definitely want to make sure that you score well on the GMAT (especially since your GPA is on the lower side). Additionally, in your application, you will have to provide more color around why you are interested in pursuing your post-MBA goals and what is motivating you to go down that path (in other words, telling the reader your story). Otherwise, I do think that the way you grouped the schools makes a lot of sense!
Hope this helps!
Best,
Shaifali

Strategy Consulting becomes a bit more niche. As suggested above already, you could look at Management Consulting. This would keep the scope of your goals a bit broader. In any case, Strategy Consulting would stand as a subset of the same
