Mohnishzaveri,
Thank you for the detailed post and congrats on your accomplishments to date! You have an attractive profile and you are targeting the right schools. If you play your cards right and put together a powerful story, you should have a good shot at those programs. While you picked the best ones for your background and goals, especially for value investing, you could look at Sloan as well.
Thinking about your extra-curriculars, what are you most passionate about? I would want to tie together a cohesive story and right now I see multiple angles. Human trafficking work and mentoring are related, though different in many ways. What leadership roles have you had outside of work?
Also how has your performance been at work? Salary raises relative to peers?
Feel free to reach out directly if you prefer not to post any of this or if you would like to hear how I could help you get into your target schools.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the response.
I am considering adding Sloan to the list and drop a stretch school from the list, since it would be difficult to apply to so many programs in R1
Besides community work, I like debating. I have won many prizes- state to national level in debating. In my graduate days, I was a member of the founding team which organized the first ever National Debate at my institute. There were more than 160 teams from across India. The event has become a regular feature at the institute.
From work perspective,I am the youngest member in my team. I have been in my current role at Thomson Reuters since last year and it helped me to transition to more business oriented role from my previous role, which was more focused on quantitative skills. I received a bump of 50% in my base salary from my previous role.
Please let me know if you require any more information.
