Hello Zarathustra,
Yup I'm a big fan of Nietzsche too
So your profile was above average and I would say not to listen to anyone who says limit your expectations.
From what I researched, It's easier to differentiate and make yourself stand apart while being authentic is what gets you placed in these top 10 bschools. Trust me it's much easier to craft a good/unique story without the blue chip company.
Adcom primarily assess you on your clarity and your leadership abilities. So crafting a great essay will do the trick.
Also one of the main reason people do MBA is to get that career change. So it is expected from adcom . If you could align this with what shaped you and your long term goals ,it's not at all an issue
I would recommend you to first write essays on your own ,then proofread them couple of times.
Apply with confidence, it will surely click.
If you're skeptical about answering the essays,hire a good consultant who brings the best out of you instead of feeding some story.
Heard MBAcrysyalball is really good for Indians especially.
So all the best and hit that thumbs-up if you like my reply and wanna encourage me to be more active in this forum and help out other aspirants..

Thank you so very much for your input!
Could someone from Admissionado also offer some valuable input? I'm quite confused :/
