As a subject matter expert, I am currently a part of managerial level discussions that involve the Chairman as well as the Petroleum Minister in future roadmap creation activity for a Government initiative. Currently, I also lead the team which is working towards revamping the data management portal for 3 Oil Manufacturing Companies (OMCs): the team involves 30 odd officers combined from all OMCs.
Also in collaboration with MOPNG, I had headed the publicity plan for a pan India Govt initiative aimed at strategically targeting tier 1 and tier 2 cities for increasing market penetration of the alternative clean fuel.
Major initiatives: Designed the temporary database responsible for MIS creation for Ministry from scratch, which has lead to the idea of the current in-progress portal.
Designed a complete training module for the induction of officers in the newly formed department.
Managed a team of 8 officers in past.
Reached milestone of 10000 tons of product sold across India.
Promoted twice
Extra-Curricular:
I have worked on multiple CSR initiatives focussing on solving major problems like river pollution near pilgrimage sites, sanitary pad machine setup for access to women at affordable prices as well as biogas plant installation in parts of North India for provision of free food in community kitchens to 2000 villagers.
Have been a part of the Company's Business Development Cricket squad
At present, I am also preparing for Trinity College Grade 1 Piano Exam
During College I have been a coordinator for various events as well as winner in multiple case study events.
International Exposure: Full funded 3-month Research Internship at one of Germany's top universities.
Post-MBA goals: Work in a Management Consulting firm focussing on providing clean energy solutions to large enterprises.
I have no clue about target colleges to apply in USA and would really appreciate if you could throw some light on the colleges
Thanks in advance

Hello Rahul, thanks for your post.
Admissions committees will look at your stats (GPA and GMAT), work experience, and extracurriculars when evaluating your application.
Your GMAT of 750 and your grades are very strong, and even though a 750 is only slightly above average for your demographic, these stats definitely show you have the quantitative ability to succeed in the classroom.
Your work experience has been impressive too. It sounds like you have made a lot of impact over the last 4+ years, including designing the database and also the training module. Hopefully your resume speaks to these types of accomplishments, because you should do your best to show you have made an impact and demonstrated leadership in your different roles. You should also illustrate the skills you already have which are transferable to consulting. This will help the schools see that your post-MBA goals are realistic.
Regarding extracurriculars, make sure to really emphasize your leadership or impact you have had in your CSR initiatives; that is one aspect of your profile on which you can elaborate.
I feel that you should be targeting schools in the US which are ranked in the top 25. You should be applying to a range of schools, from reach to target to safer choices. I would say that your reach schools are schools in the top 10 or 12, and your safer choices are closer to 20-25 (although they will still be challenging). Hopefully at least one of them will see that you have a compelling story and are someone who will add value to the classroom and community.
Good luck!
