Hi,
Please help me out.
Age: 24
Sex: M
Work ex: 32 months (4 years by Aug '18)
GMAT:720, Q49, V40 Jul 2016
Toefl: 115
Country of residence: India
Professional:
I am a software engineer from Delhi Technological University (CPI: 69/100) and I have been working at Deloitte Consulting as a Business Technology Analyst (soon Consultant). I have served clients in the insurance industry, in technology transformation projects in the capacity of a software tester. This has helped me gain knowledge about the Financial Services Industry with a focus on insurance. In addition to testing I also contribute to project planning, product scope definition and team management.
Extra curricular:
I am a part of the leadership support team at Deloitte, in which I deliver period-wise revenue and delivery analysis to directors and senior management. These reports are then used to formulate firm strategy and track objectives.
I led a team of 6 to win an internal firm competition and implemented an idea to promote employee well-being within the firm.
Social impact:
I have co-founded a trust that seeks to bring about socio-economic change in backward areas of Uttar Pradesh (India). As a part of this, I organized a health camp, attended by over 1100 people, to spread awareness about basic sanitation and personal hygiene. Currently we are in talks with the local government to upgrade primary and secondary education facilities in the district.
I am also associated with NGOs where I volunteer as a tutor for primary school students.
Target Schools: Tuck, Stern, Duke, Darden (consulting focused in Top 20)
What aspect of my profile do i need to improve upon? Should I focus on getting a 760 GMAT?
I applied to several schools unsuccessfully for the 2017 intake and I find myself without a plan to get admitted next year.
Thanks!

Hi, and thanks for writing! While you have strong work experience and extracurriculars and a solid GMAT score, I do think boosting the GMAT to 740+ could help you given that you're coming from such a competitive demographic. Aside from the GMAT, focus on conveying your professional and volunteer/personal experiences engagingly to the AdCom, making it clear why now is the right time for an MBA, and being specific about your short-term and long-term goals. In addition, make sure you've done enough research on the programs so that you can speak compellingly about why they're each a strong fit for you professionally and personally.
Best of luck and let me know of any other questions!
