Hi
Please evaluate my profile
25 (male)
Bachelor's in computer science engineering from Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra.
GPA : 6.89 out of 10
Senior software engineer at Samsung Electronics ( 2 years).
I've developed a graphics benchmark application which measures the performance of graphics processor of a Smart TV, this was the first any such application was made for a TV as earlier it existed only for smartphones.
Along side my work as a developer I've taken up additional responsibilities like releasing the whole code base to the main upper level branches. We have multiple stages from where the code is pushed up regularly after thorough verification. I've the sole ownership of this verification and merging of code for a huge module which includes around 35 teams from all around the world in Samsung. This is a very rigorous task as code changes are made every minute and they are to be catered immediately.
I'm also a Global Workplace Agent for my group which consists of around 300 employees, where my task is to organize parties and events at company level.
I've been promoted every year.
I've co-founded two companies with my brother.
Co-founded a marketing company at the age of 18 which went on for 2 years.
Co- founded a rubber band manufacturing company at the age of 21, I looked after product manufacturing and all the technical aspects of the product like creating and improving the product, maintaining the quality in mass production.
I've a GRE score of 316, I've not taken GMAT yet.
Post MBA goals :
Short term : Switch to consulting.
Long term : To be an entrepreneur.
1. What are my chances of getting into top B schools.
2. If I should try for this year or the next. I would have 3 years of experience this year and 4 if I apply next year.
3. Please suggest which schools are achievable for me

Hi Yashvardhan,
You are building an interesting set of experiences through the leadership positions at work, specifically where you coordinate with 35 teams across the world. Experience like these will give you a chance to demonstrate your global exposure (even if do not actually travel).
Your stint as global agent for organizing allows you to shine outside work. However, you have some scope to build up on the extra curricular activities.
At this point, the GRE score is the biggest sore- go ahead for a retake and also consider GMAT as an option. Better GMAT score (720+)with additional 1-2 years at work along the same career trajectory will help with the applications.

I echo Namitha's assessment here Yashvardhan. A few points nonetheless:
Cheers,
- What's the GMAT equivalent of that score (check here)? The score is unlikely to do justice to the potential your profile has in any case. So definitely worth a retake.
- It is not clear if your rubber venture is still on? While its good that you've had both corporate experience and entrepreneurial stints, perhaps it might be time to consolidate your efforts here. Directly moving from a technical profile at Samsung to Consulting may not be a linear progression. You may be better off using the one year (if you decide to apply later), in this direction. Our Profile Builder offering is designed exactly for this purpose.
Cheers,
