Hi all,
I am hoping to get your advice on my chances to get into the top 10 US b-schools
Here is my profile:
Indian Male, 24
Undergraduate: BTech, Chemical Engg. (IIT Delhi)
GMAT : 720 (Q 51, V 35, AWA : 4.5)
GPA : 3.1/4
Consistent high-school performance: Got 94% in 10th std. and 88% in my 12th std.
Work Ex : 4 years post my undergrad degree
Quality of Work ex :
1. 2 yrs work ex. with ZS Associates (A consulting firm focused on pharma/healthcare industry): Joined as an Associate, and got promoted to an Associate Consultant within 2 yr. (fastest in my batch). Worked with Indian, European, American clients on Market research, Marketing strategies, New product launch planning and execution & Sales force effectiveness projects
2. 2 yrs work ex. with Moolchand Healthcare: Working as an EA to the CEO, helping drive various strategic initiatives like Sales & Marketing, recruiting, M&A, fund-raising, Business planning, Reporting etc. I would classify this as a 50% strategy, and 50% execution role.
International exposure :
1. 3 month research internship in a Lab in Frieberg, Germany during my UG.
2. 3 month technical internship in a chemical factory in Rayong, Thailand during my UG.
3. Travelled to the US for client work during my 2 yr stint with ZS Associates
Extra-currics: Play the guitar/piano and was an active member of the IIT Delhi music club - used to perform for my hostel band. Also, was in the institute water-polo team (have an active interest in swimming)
Leadership experience:
1. Was mentoring associates for over a year at ZS Associates. Have delivered 4 projects end to end with about 1-2 associates reporting to me on each project. Have almost ~1yr experience training associates on market research methodologies. Have also taken office wide sessions on market research
2. Helped build the marketing services team in the Gurgaon office - was actively involved in taking it from a strength of 5 to 40 in 2 yrs.
3. Leading the talent acquisition initiative at Moolchand Healthcare, with 3 direct reportees.
4. Have an indirect line of reporting at Moolchand since I am involved in multiple strategic intiatives, working closely with the CEO (this point needs to be elaborated)
I would really value your advise on the following two points:
1) Do I have a chance of getting admitted in a top 10? If so, what are the things I can do to make my application stronger?
2) What are the other universities that I can look at, given my ambitions?
Thanks again!

Hi Rakshay,
You have everything which can make a good candidature for a top school. IIT brand, decent GMAT, solid and diverse work experience which is not presented by Indian applicants. International experience and extra currics will also help.
So, you look all set to target top schools but remember with top 10 schools a lot depends on how you present your goals and show your interest in the program. They need a coherent story from someone who has been a super achiever.
PS: Since you have time retake GMAT if possible to push it to 740+. That will really make it easy for you to crack couple of schools from top 7-8.
