Hi Risabh,
All of the aspects of the application that you listed are important, but inevitably, you will be devoting most of your time to your essays from here on out. Because you are Indian, you fall into a very crowded demographic group. I suggest you emphasize your professional and extra-curricular (+ language) experiences in Germany as those will help to set you apart.
Your career path and goals are fairly common, and in order to make them more realistic and believeable, you might consider doing something now to facilitate your transition from strategy to the finance world. If it is at all possible to secure an internship of some sort (even unpaid) I believe that would help boost your story quite a bit.
It sounds like you have accomplished some terrific things and are worthy of a world class MBA program. Now you just need to do the best possible job of telling your story in a compelling way that helps to differentiate you from others in the application pool.
Good luck!
Stacy

Dear Stacy,
Thanks a lot for the reply. Just 1 more question. Given that I write a convincing story, here is what I have to ask.
Which schools would fit best for me from your perspective?
Choices: H/S/W/MIT/Columbia/Booth...(To be safe do you advise me to be apply to some more, given I will be 30 when applying and 31 when entering?
Thank you very much and best wishes to you as well.
Regards
