Solid academics and gmat score, but so are many others. Your school selections are very competitive so you will need to distinguish yourself in some way. Extra curriculars and community service are often ways to do this. You can also play up the impact of your engineering work. Scholarships are very tough to come by. They are almost always used as a way to entice admitted students to attend and therefore usually go toward the very top or very unusual candidates. International students also face a bit of a disadvantage in scholarship selections.

Your success will likely come down to how you talk about your entrepreneurial experience. Many schools like that and it would make you unusual. The schools you are targeting could be good options for you.

You have a very interesting background and your list of schools is appropriate. I might also add kellogg as well as consider UCLA and Haas. Your chances at all of them will be improved greatly if you can get up to a 740 on the gmat. You’ll also want to think about how you position yourself and your extra curriculars in a way that suggests you are interested in helping other people or building relationships.

Your profile is very strong. Let me try and help you in your thinking: The way I like to think about an application is this: imagine you have all the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle laid out on a table in front of you. There are certain pieces of the puzzle you can’t do anything about, like your age, your GPA in your undergrad work, your gender, etc. But there are pieces of the puzzle that you can control: your essays, your GMAT score, your video application, etc. When an admissions team reviews your application, they look at the *entire* puzzle, the complete picture. So although you might feel you have some perceived weakness, you can make up for that by really doing an excellent job in preparing the pieces of the puzzle that you can control. Does that make sense?

given your age, I would strongly suggest considering an EMBA program. You will face some significant hurdles for full time. Several of the M7 (and INSEAD and LBS) have very strong EMBA programs that you might consider. With an EMBA you can also counter the issues you faced in undergrad with more work experience. For post MBA jobs, work life balance is always an issue. that usuall depends as much on the company as the industry or role.

1) Please provide a general profile evaluation whether the schools are a right choice and classified correctly??
2)How to quantify accomplishments in community work. I know it’s vague qsn but is it okay to not have too much quantification here??

3)Also as a part of my story, is it okay to mention that I am an introvert but still have leadership skills?? or will it raise eyebrows??

Your background is solid and should be competitive at most of the schools you are considering. However, none of the schools you list would I consider "safe." (I do think you have them in the right order however). I wouldn’t worry too much about quantifying your extras - you want to talk about impact, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be numbers. ( a coach can help with this). I wouldn’t mention the introversion unless it comes out as part of a broader essay that talks about your values, personality and leadership style. Most schools have plenty of introverts with very strong leadership skills.
