Hi,

You have good acads, GPA and GMAT score. This proves that your are good in academics. Your ECs seem to be fine. But what about headship qualities, awards/achievements at work place and post-MBA goals? You should have clarity on these while applying in top 10-15 b-school(s). However, if you can position well in application essays and interviews then you would stand a good chance in top b-school(s). You may try your chances in b-school(s) by clicking https://www.apphelp.co.in/b-school-selector.php.

You may target R-2 as equal weight-age is given to R-1 and R-2.

Let me know in case of further assistance. You may PM your details for discussion in length.

Regards
Erina

Hi Stacy,

Mentioned below is my profile

Indian / Male
GMAT: 720

Work experience: Have 5 years of experience in the risk advisory division at one of the big four consulting companies. Industries served included consumer packaged goods, healthcare, and retail.

Certifications: CFA, FRM, Qualified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt

Acads:
Secondary School: 93%
Senior Secondary: 91%
B.tech (BITS Pilani): GPA(3.8/4)

Extra-curriculars:
• Have won various debate competitions in High School
• Have been supporting the NGO SAKSHI for the last 4 years by contributing towards education of 2 children.
• Member of the student council at Bits Pilani, managing work related to getting sponsorship for various college fests and events.

Interests include reading and traveling, hiking and trekking

Please evaluate my profile for top 10 bschools in US. Would applying in Round 2 instead of Round 1 affect my application? I have this concern as I might be traveling for work during most Round 1 deadlines?

Thanks in advance
