Hello hello!
Thanks for writing. and a good thing you are doing it early. Now it's a bit early for a profile evaluation because you have another year of work ahead of you at least before you should apply, and lots can happen in that year and a half.
And you are right also in thinking about what you can do now. Now overall your profile is pretty good, but top 10 schools will be a bit tough.
The challenges in your profile:
- GMAT about 40 points too low for Top 10
- Non IIT
- so-so GPA
- Tech job
And to be honest, these are a lot of things to overcome for top 10. But, let's start where we can. And the first thing and most obvious is the GMAT. As to whether or not you should retake, have a look at this post here: https://bit.ly/B613Mgc. I think that should help you out there.
Now, if you are asking yourself: Okay, I'll get the GMAT, but what else can I do? And the answer is be unique! I mean REALLY unique. Like founding an NGO. Or a company. Or making millions in real estate. Or becomes a world-famous cricket player.
Or whatever else you can think of. And even if you feel like this seems like too much - don't worry about it. Do what you CAN. Join an NGO. Be a leader of your community. Continue to excel at work. Every little bit helps for every application.Hope this helps,
JF

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the reply. I'll probably retake the GMAT and even crack the 740 mark.
What I wanted to know is whether my social startup, college festival marketing experience, Government funded project, for profit startup and weekend training won't add uniqueness to my profile?
Thanks again.
