Hi,
My name is Saurabh. I have scored a 720 in GMAT. Here is my profile in brief:
1. 28 years age
2. 6 years total Consultancy work experience of which 5 years with Deloitte (Big4)
3. I have an MBA from a top Indian College in Marketing, evaluated as Masters in Canada & US by Educational Services firms
4. I have a 4 years Bachelors Degree in Computer Science
5. Currently working as a Manager
I have two questions:
1. How good/ bad is my profile for selection in Top Tier colleges. Where can I improve if required to be eligible for Top Tier Colleges.
2. Should I apply in Round 3 or wait till September.
Thanks

Hello,
I’m not exactly clear what you mean by “top tier” – in terms of actual quality? High ranking? Other?
From the brief info provided, I would expect that you would be competitive at programs on the level of Ross, Duke, and Cornell –these programs would be in the range of on-par to close reasonable reach. And that is IF you can make a strong case the the 2nd MBA.
Part of the consideration of your competitiveness is your work track record – compared to your accomplished peers, is it high impact, high leadership etc.? Have you been given the high profile projects; would your career be considered fast-track at Deloitte? If so, you might be competitive also at programs such as Tuck and NYU -- again, given a convincing case for 2nd MBA.
I think R3 will be difficult because of your over-represented demographic and industry groups. If you believe that between now and next summer you can further enhance your professional profile and also, possibly raise your GMAT (your score is okay but not standout for your group), I think it would be better to wait to R1 next cycle.
