Indian male engineer (sigh) from top5 college in India, GPA>8, GMAT 760
Workex: 3.5yrs in global IB (small international chops), 6M in sales trading indian firm, 3 months in fintech (Current)
Decent extracurrics at college (club head, won major competitions), at work (CSR, award), outside work (teaching NGO, active blog)
Recommenders: no big gun b-school alum, 1 each from previous 2 firms as it's been just 3 months at current firm
Woke up late to the MBA dream hence targeting R2 with focus on just M7 (maybe 1-2 from T10)
I know it's a tough shot in M7 for any indian male but any suggestions for school selection? Don't think I've the bandwidth to apply for more than 4 schools.

OK, m7ornothing, that is a challenge. You have some excellent stats, but are in a very competitive category and I worry that you are aiming for a more difficult battle than you realize. You say you "woke up late" to the MBA dream but by R2, often half the seats are gone (or more) in a class, and so you are fighting for a spot in a room that with very little space and a lot of competition, particularly in your category. I also worry about your recs/work experience. I can understand why you would ask for recs from supervisors at previous firms with only 3 months at your current shop, but your prior employment was pretty brief too at only 6 months, so I wonder how much better that rec might be in terms of knowing you well. Hopefully you have a strong supporter there, and maybe tackled something great in that time frame. Also, I wonder about your trajectory and goals... your jobs all seem pretty different (IB, sales and trading, now fintech) so make sure to explain your path to clear goals that makes sense. So, I'm hopeful you can present this kind of picture! If not, I'd advise you to stick around a bit longer at your current job and improve your work experience and then apply down the line in a year or two with a stronger track record and great positioning for whatever you are aiming for. Personally, I would at least wait till next year....and do R1/EA or ED where possible, expanding your view to top 10/15, and maybe even boosting your test score if you have time! Of course it is your decision and if you decide to go for it, I am rooting for your success! Hope that this advice is helpful and wish you the best!

I am seeking to level up the skills I have acquired in the past experiences and apply the knowledge in regard to business management. For that purpose, I am looking forward to pursuing an MBA program from a top-grade B-School in CANADA that can provide me the essential skills which are required to achieve the goals of the industries to grow significantly.
I was concerned about the academic criteria which are 75% for the bachelor's degree required which I am willing to compensate by GMAT's score of 680 (I have got 66% in Mechanical Engineering course)
Here are some brief details about my profile :
Name - Sagar Subhash Patil
City/Country - Palghar, India
Undergraduate degree - Bachelors of engineering in Mechanical engineering
Percentage/CGPA - 66% / 7.5
Work experience - 1) 2+ years worked as a Maintenance Engineer and Project Engineer (Jr Executive) in MNC
2) Founded own firm named Activ24 Foods and Oils ( Now working as Managing Director)
IELTS - Overall 7 ( Not less than 6.5)
GMAT - Expected score 650-680
German language proficiency - B1 level certification
Participations in National level competition (In bachelor)
Certifications for design software i.e. NX-CAD (certification by Siemens)
Volunteered for an NGO named as 'Happiness Spring'
Google certified course for Project Management
So, my concerned question is as to which Canadian universities I am eligible to apply to??
Expecting your assistance before applying.
Thanks.
