Hello,
Can you please evaluate my profile? Here’s a brief description about me-
Indian, Male, 30
GMAT- 720
Undergrad in Mechanical Engineering- 2.75/4
Masters in Supply Chain from Ross- 3.7/4
Founded a manufacturing start-up where I worked for 5 years. Grew the company revenue by more than 600% in five years before I decided to sell it. Reason being wanted to switch in a Operations role in Hi-Tech
Working in Amazon as Operations Manager for the past 2 years. Leading a team of 200 people
Co-curricular- Was the Vice President of a non-profit for 3.5 years, raised more than $60K for the same. Peer Coach at Ross, leadership positions in some clubs but nothing major.
I applied in B-Schools before my masters but got dinged by most. I’m only targeting the following schools-
1. HBS
2. Stanford
3. MIT
4. Haas
5. Kellogg (not sure)
I don’t think I can improve my GMAT any further. My goal is to transition into Product Management after MBA.
Thank You very much!!

Hi Ashu,
Your work experience sounds pretty interesting and competitive. This is for both the business venture and your job at Amazon.
I did not understand from your post about how much work experience you had when you applied for MBA earlier. A lack of work experience could be the reason for not gaining admission into business schools earlier, so you should be sorted on that front now.
In terms of your b-school list, You have picked the most selective programs. Your GMAT score for these will be lesser than their class average, which is never helpful. You should either tailor this list to include safer programs or you should aim for a higher GMAT score.
Also, I'd like you to think deeper about your career goals- your strength is in operations and you have been doing that in your current job as well. You should explore how feasible is a job change to product management.
All the best.

Thank you for your response.
I had 5 years of work experience when I applied for MBA earlier. I am not sure what went wrong, maybe my GMAT was comparatively lower or my GPA. I was actually ranked 6th in my class during my undergrad, grading in India is much different than in US and I believe on paper, just looking at 2.75/4 without looking at the whole story actually looks bad. Secondly, I didn't had any International work experience, nor was my under-grad University among-st the top 10 (IIT's) in India. Also, I feel, since my only work experience was with my start-up and had no work experience with a global company (MNC's), that might have worked against me.
I've tried giving GMAT a couple of times but couldn't score higher. I might try once more but I don't have much hope. I know the schools I've chosen are ultra competitive but for me personally, it doesn't make sense to go to any other school (especially out of top 10). This is as much about professional reasons as personal (dreamt of studying in these 5 schools for 10 years now & I do believe I am good enough for them).
My career goals are to have a broader base in Operations. With my master's in Supply Chain, I learned only supply chain & operations. But I want to learn more in Marketing & Strategy, which I feel function closely with Operations and then target a career, either as Product Manager or Operations Consulting.
