Hi rt0211
Thank you for your post and kudos for your accomplishments. We actually invest in a lot of Indian start ups and it is great to see someone like you target a top business school. I think you want to focus on your product leadership, and ideally some of the great things you’ve done outside of work to help improve the community.
As far as the scholarships, they will be inversely correlated with the rank of the school so you will have some decisions to make because you could be competitive at Harvard or Wharton, but you are not likely to get money. That said we got over $10 million last year on scholarships so our clients earn many multiples return on the investment with us versus the average scholarships awarded to applicants so if you’re looking to hire a consultant please see below.

Hey, this seems like a great profile for a top school, but I believe more in-depth review would be required to get an idea of the odds to get into the schools
