Hello.

I am hoping to get a profile evaluation. Here are my details -

25 years old, Indian Male.
GMAT: 720 (Q49, V40)

Work Experience:
• 4 years at Deloitte as a Software engineer who worked for multiple US-based banks (including investment banks and multiple F500 Banks).
• Won multiple awards and back-to-back yearly promotions.
• Multiple instances of me leading teams from India and Singapore (virtually)

Extracurricular activities:
• Led a group of 30 volunteers in a leading Indian NGO for 3+ years.
• Organized weekly classes, health camps for underprivileged kids.
• Led initiatives that helped underprivileged primary school dropouts find scholarships and rejoin school.
• Organized multiple city-level charity fundraising events.

Studies:
• Engineering in Information Technology.
• CGPA of 7.25 which converts to 4/4 GPA (Not sure about the conversion process; Will update once I confirm)
• Co-authored a research paper which was later on published in ‘Recent Developments in Machine Learning and Data Analytics. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, vol 740. Springer, Singapore.’


Post MBA Goals: change to Consulting(preferably IT-Consulting)

Colleges: Mostly focusing on European or SE Asian Colleges. USA Colleges MBA are way more expensive. But might consider if I get into the Top 5

Challenges: I won't be applying to more than 3/4 Business schools due to the high application fees of most schools.

Q1: For USA colleges, it is a must for me to have scholarships. Do I stand a chance at that in top US colleges (Fuqua, Chicago, Michigan, NYU) and yes, which among these? Or should I be realistic and focus on the more affordable (comparatively) European schools?

Q2: What are my chances at INSEAD, LBS, HEC, IESE and Rotman? Given my profile, do they fall under the "ambitious" category?

Q3: With my profile, how competitive will be admission to NUS for me?

Thanks a lot for your time and help, I'm looking forward to your reply.

Thanks,
AM

Thanks for sharing details on your profile here, Our expert is much obliged to answer you. Regarding your profile... You have a very good profile, All your basic educational, work experiences, good commercial experience, Great leadership experience and a great GMAT score. Yes it will put you in a good standing until and unless you work on your story. You have each and every element in your profile but all you have to do is it needs to be articulated into proper stories/essays.Build stories around failures and learnings to complement the natural successes you have had. the nonquantifiable parts of your application and his desire/need to do the MBA particularly with leadership experience has to be conveyed. Mainly your long term goal and how you can align your goals to the college is also very important.

Answering your three questions
You should target 25-40 for best chance of admissions and school
HEC, Rotman and IESE should be achievable if his stories are fine
NUS will be good if he can work on his career goals
