Hello Stacy,
The outlook of my profile is as follows:
Name: Mayank
Nationality: Indian
Age at Matriculation: 26
Academics:
-> CGPA: 9/10, Dual Degree (Bachelors + Masters) in Mechanical Engineering from a reputed Indian Institute (IIT Bombay)
-> GMAT Attempt One on October 2010: 720 (Q51; V35; AWA 5.5)
GMAT Attempt Two on 24th August, 2011: 760 (Q50; V44; AWA 6.0)
Work Experience
3 years as on matriculation in pharmaceutical manufacturing firm (India's Top Pharma Company)
Roles Played:
-> Trainee Engineer (4 months): Did a team project on reducing changeover time between two packaging processes.
-> Role 1 (2 months): Lead a team of 3 technicians, trained them on a new machine, managed them and the machine during FDA audit of the plant in 2009. The audit was successful
-> Role 2: (18 months - present) Manufacturing Planner, varied and increasing roles and responsibilities.
Extra-Curricular:
-> Co-founded an NGO that provides technical support to other NGOs (webpages, logos etc.), spreads online social awareness, links volunteers and NGOs, encourages CSR activities.
-> Basic understanding of two foreign languages (A1 level spanish and german)
-> Average other involvements in college (sports, social/cultural events etc.)
-> Hobbies: reading fiction, bodybuilding for last 2 years (should I mention these or just skip?)
AIM
I have few entrepreneurial ideas that I want to explore. I want to start a bodybuilding/health supplement firm, should I mention my entrepreneurial goals in detail or only refer to them in my applications? I do not want to be hasty in starting a firm right out of B school and want an MBA to prepare myself and make an informed decision when to go for it.
Advice Needed: I will be applying this year for 2012 admissions. I want to focus on entrepreneurship/general management, and will be applying to US B schools. Please advice which B schools I should target and in which rounds.
As I have just finished my GMAT (24th Aug) and am currently researching B schools, I realize that very little time is left for R1 deadlines. So I have thought of applying to 2-3 B schools in R1 and to 2-3 in R2. Any advice will be helpful!

Hi Mayank,
Thanks for the post. Regarding which round you should apply to, you should apply when you feel your application is strongest. You should not be concerned about applying to Round 1 over Round 2 (the only exception to this is you should avoid applying to the last round).
For recommended business schools, is there a particular location you are interested in the US?
Best,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team

Hello Stacy/Conrard,
