Hi,

You have strong profile with decent work experience along with international exposure. Your work profile also looks diverse with strong focus on strategic consulting. You have good backup with extracurricular activities to differentiate your profile from huge applicant pool, now focus on getting 700+ GMAT and good application essays/recommendations to increase your chances for targeted schools. You can demonstrate special aspects of your profile like leadership abilities, achievements at work place, awards and recognitions in your application essays, so concentrate more and start working soon for applications along with GMAT preparation. List of schools is pretty fine tuned and quite realistic, but still you can add some schools like Kellogg, Tuck and Darden to broaden your scope. Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Neha Singh

Hi
I feel that u have an excellent chance at Indiana and Michigan. These are the safe schools. I remember that Indiana has dedicated Strategic Mgmt program.
Michigan is also one of the safe schools for you.

Though you must apply to all your dream class, it will depend on your essay.

Kudos if you like my post

You have a decent GMAT score, and your GPA is on the higher side. Having a undergrad good brand on the application really helps.

Though you have less work experience but it seems quite good. You have spent a lot of time travelling to international locations. This is valued highly in LBS and INSEAD. You can add these schools in your target list. Seeing your recommenders list it seems that you are high achiever, and it will certainly make you strong candidate at your target B-schools.

You could also apply to Carnegie Mellon and Oxford. If you want to get into consulting, you should join one of the top business schools. You could get into the career of your choice if you are focused on it.
You should focus all your energies in writing excellent application essays. You could also talk to alumni of your target business schools to better understand your fit to these schools.

Good luck!
