I gave my GMAT 20 days back and scored a 720.
Below is my profile :
GMAT : 720
Academics: 80% in 10th and 12th.
B. Tech in Instrumentation and Control ( IP University Dehi) - 71%.
6 years of IT experience - Accenture , HCL and currently working in Deloitte.
3 promotions in first 5 years.
Extra curricular :
Leading NGO initiatives within the organization.
Few certificates in mathematics from school time.
Quarterly awards in office.
Passionate about football and have played a lot as well but have no certificate.
Organized games and team events in office.
Negative points :
No international work ex.
Not good in other activities like Dance, singing , drama etc.
Goal : Work as a strategic consultant.
Since I have a typical IT profile and nothing spectacular I am not sure which colleges to choose. I am looking for a 12-18 month MBA.
Within India :
Thinking of applying to ISB, IIM A , IIM B and IIM C. Not sure weather I should apply to IIM I and L.
Rest of Asia:
After doing lots of research Insead - Singapore looks out of reach. Should I apply to NUS , NTU and CEIBS ? Two colleges in HK , SMU , AIM don't offer good placements as per my research( Please correct if I am wrong!)
Europe :
Round 3 deadline for ESMT is 1st October. Should I apply? I have shortlisted ESADE, HEC, MBS.
Please evaluate my profile for these colleges. And if there are any colleges that I have missed please suggest them as well. Scholarship is also an important factor

Ashish,
Thank you for your post. Have you spent an equal amount of time in each firm? What group of Deloitte are you in right now? Fair to assume their TI group?
In terms of schools, ISB would be good fit for you, although the extra-currics won't help you as I don't see a lot of leadership outside of work. Perhaps you have more and we can chat about that. I recommend applying to all of the IIMs. NUS is a nice program and your profile fits well there. CEIBS is a nice option and while SMU doesn't have as great placement as some other programs, there are still success stories there so I wouldn't count it out completely.
HEC would be a bit of a stretch, but if you craft your story well enough, its worth putting in an application, whereas the others are within reach. This is a good set of programs and you wouldn't want to apply to more or else you would spread yourself too thin.
Reach out if you would like assistance working on your applications. Good luck! scott@personalmbacoach.com
