Thanks a lot for the evaluation.Your reply has reaffirmed my decision to give gmat again.

I did not get few of the parts. Do u mean to say these colleges are tough in general or specific to my profile?

And how to show profile MBA focussed rather than skill or tech focussed?

In last few days after research I have finalised my list of colleges - Insead, booth, sloan, kellogs, yale, ross, Isb, NUS, tepper, Anderson, johnson, Nanyang

Regards

Hey dude,
Well what I mean is that an a profile who is Indian/Male/IT and non-IIT that Top 5 (and maybe Top 10) are always gonna be tough, unless you have some story that will make you stand out. And yes, a bit more on the GMAT helps, but from what I've seen it's not that that will get you in, but your STORY.

As for how to focus on your MBA skills - it's a lot of work - on your resume your essays your applications etc... but basically you need to begin by THINKING of yourself differently - you aren't just a worker fulfilling tech tasks - you are a leader, a project manager, a teammate, someone with a global vision of the company's future and how to lead it... you gotta start thinking BIG.

There's no "secret" here, it just requires a lot of work and a lot of attention to detail (as well as some good writing skills)
:)

Best,
Jon

Thanks for sharing your profile.

Doing better on the GMAT could help boost your chances of admissions.

Your essays will be critical in helping you stand out. For example, you would need to show the scale of your leadership experiences, or how unique and extensive your leadership experiences were leading in set-up of the supply chain management, or with child rights causes.Your extracurriculars are also impressive and will be another area to highlight.

For schools such as INSEAD, you would also want to highlight your ability to work across cultures, and what you can contribute to the experiences of your peers given your background.

Crafting your essays carefully to leverage on your highlights, while demonstrating how the MBA will clearly help you achieve post-MBA goals will greatly impact your chances.

Wish you all the best!
