Hi, I saw some great replies on some profile evaluation here. Can you give your valuable feedback on my profile as well?
GMAT 730, Indian 28M, Undergrad CGPA: 6.8
Engineering Background Tier 1 Engg college,
5 years of Exp across 3 Industries, 6 years in Aug 2024. All startups no MNC.
1 yr in a Pharma consulting firm working for US pharma Clients as a Business Analyst.
2 yr in a Logistics Unicorn in india as a Senior Analyst (1 promotion Analyst ---> Senior Analyst).
2 yr in a Social Media startup (1 Promotion APM ---> PM).
Now working in UK as a Product Lead in a Fintech Unicorn
Few ECs - Govt. of India, College football player, and volunteering in few NGOs like Teach for India, MAD
Goals - Primary - Consulting (Strategy role in MBB or some boutique consulting firms). I Want my MBA to Break into Strategy roles in consulting companies in US.
I think i have a few transferable skills from my past Roles that can contribute towards my goal.
So, i want to do MBA in US.
Can i Aim for US top 25 colleges? Is yes Which US colleges should i target?
I feel my low GMAT score wouldn't give me any edge over other candidates over this very over-represented application pool.
What do you think about my Goals? Would it be easier to get admitted, if i stick to Product Management in big tech company like Amazon because of my exp in the same field. Or is Strategy consulting just fine?
Do you have any advice regarding how can tailor my application to be 'unique' in this pool for these colleges.
Also Would having a GRE/EA score help? Do i have a better chance at being accepted if i apply with 320-330 GRE score rather than a 730 GMAT?
Let me know if you need any other info. I would really appreciate your few cents. TIA

Responding to your questions:
Can i Aim for US top 25 colleges? Is yes Which US colleges should i target?
A: Yes. Probably T15-25 schools would be a good bet.
I feel my low GMAT score wouldn't give me any edge over other candidates over this very over-represented application pool.
A: Not necessarily. You are right in the mix. It won't help or hurt you. If you are concerned, take the exam again. If you don't have time or the desire, then applying to schools lower in the ranking to be safe.
What do you think about my Goals? Would it be easier to get admitted, if i stick to Product Management in big
tech company like Amazon because of my exp in the same field. Or is Strategy consulting just fine?
A: I would pivot away from consulting. Overplayed. PM would be a more interesting arc.
Do you have any advice regarding how can tailor my application to be 'unique' in this pool for these colleges.
A: Yes and no. We really need to meet you to make such an evaluation and come up with an iterative strategy. Anyone who creates you a vision over these postings is selling you a bag of goods.
Also Would having a GRE/EA score help? Do i have a better chance at being accepted if i apply with 320-330 GRE score rather than a 730 GMAT?
A: If you have such a score, you can submit it. The school will consider/accept whichever is highest and most in your favor.
