2. Why MBA?
Playing games had been one of my childhood hobbies. When I was a child, I used to play tycoon games and enjoyed them a lot. This sparked my interest towards managing things in general. I started enjoying making schedules of what I had to do, managing my pocket money and became punctual in every event that I used to do. Moreover, I had developed an outgoing personality and enjoyed meeting new people. When I reached the crossroads of my life, I got my career counseling done and got the dominant fields as management and literature (English was my favorite subject). Therefore, I decided to pursue English at Bachelor level and MBA at post graduate level.
3. Why now ?
When I completed my graduation, I appeared for CAT(Common Admission Test) and secured a decent percentile and got three admission offers. But due to financial constraints, I was unable to join any Institution. The reason was due to the fact that we were already paying installments of our house which my family had recently purchased. Secondly, my elder sister had also appeared for CAT and secured admission into one of the best B schools in the country. Therefore, to pay her institute fees we had to take another loan. It became impossible for my family to take another loan for me as we were neck deep in debt. The system of scholarships is in its infancy in India regarding MBA education.
Therefore, I forewent my MBA dream and decided to enter government service and earn money so that I can pursue MBA at a later stage. I knew that government experience is nontraditional; therefore I decided to build my profile and make myself a suitable candidate for MBA program.
4. Which sector After researching and reading books on major sectors of management, I found marketing the most interesting which also fits my skill set.
5.Post MBA goals I wish to join a company and help it grow.

Hi mathew58,
Thank you very much for your message and for sharing your profile in such detail. You, indeed, have an interesting profile that we would like to explore further and discuss a strategy on how we can help you make the most out of your MBA application. The GMAT score and extracurricular activities are great. Your undergrad degree is non-business, however. Therefore, I recommend enrolling and successfully completing a b-school prep course, like that offered by HBS (HBX CORe) -- courses like these carry a heavier weight by the AdComms than EdX and Coursera.
You have done a lot to prepare for the MBA, and next step would be to work on your MBA strategy; you want to make sure you tell your story (your motivations and challenges) in the right light. Your reasons for MBA and post-MBA goals need to be polished a bit. I recommend we schedule a free consultation to discuss further (contact details in signature).
Good luck!

Hi thanks for your generous reply. Can you please answer some of my questions?
1. How many prep course, like that offered by HBS (HBX CORe) should i complete given that i can forego one year for these courses? Also will doing the course e.g. Sustainable Business Strategy from HBX CORe be applicable for only Harvard or will impact all of my b school application?
2. If I polish my reasons for MBA and post MBA goals after consulting you, will that increase my selection chances?
