Hello Cindy!
Please evaluate my profile for my chances at target B-schools. Also suggest if I should add any other B-schools to my list :
1) Work exp - 3.5 years with car manufacturing firms (an Indian firm previously & now Honda) as after-sales operations manager in marketing vertical. Direct liaison between my organization and channel partners (car dealers). Handling 8 car service outlets with annual business revenue ~5 Million USD, employing staff of 200+, spanning 3 states. Heavily general management kind of role, lots of leadership & people management experience with internal and external stakeholders. Undertook and completed several projects, which I can prove with strong back-up calculations.
2) GMAT - took in Dec'2014; scored 600 (Q48, V28, AWA 5.0, IR 5). Shall be re-taking in next 3 months with a target of 720+
3) College info: an NIT ranked 15~20 among engineering colleges in India, GPA 6.15/10 (not so good grades in quant based courses), mechanical engineering, completed in 2011.
4) extra-curricular activities or community service, especially leadership experience - no such significant leadership experience outside of the workplace
5) Important certifications - plan on taking CSCP (certified supply chain professional certification) to strengthen my operations management profile
6) Your target programs - FT MBA at :
Highly ambitious – Ross, Anderson, Darden, Kellogg, ISB
Moderately ambitious – Kenan Flagler, Mc Combs, Kelley, Krannert
Safe – Vanderbilt Owen, Michigan State Eli Broad , U Georgia Terry, U Maryland Smith (latter 2 for their marketing research reputation)
7) applying for Fall-2016 intake in R1 2015-2016
8) Your post MBA goal - to work in one of the following capacities :
Example 1 – Marketing/Market Research/Brand management/Product planning in an automobile company
Example 2 – Consultant in a major market research/strategy consulting firm (specializing in automotive research would be a cherry on top)
Example 3 – Marketing/Product management/Operations management at an E-commerce firm
Example 4 - Marketing/Product management/Operations management at a tech start-up involving car based product
Thank you!

Hello,
Your work experience (both type and quality of leadership, impact, achievement) is the main strength of your candidacy. IF you achieve your target GMAT, AND you score well (80%+) on the quant section, I’d consider your “highly ambitious” programs to be exactly that – very, very high reaches. I’d consider the next group to be reaches, with KF and McCombs a little higher than Krannert and Kelley, which would be closer to on-pars. Your third group I would view as on-pars and not as safeties. (NOTE: this is pretty speculative; it all rests on your GMAT performance.)
You mention goals options. I assume you don’t plan to present this array in your essays. You should narrow this down to one key goal and a “Plan B” goal. Having too many goals will make you appear unfocused. I definitely suggest reviewing my online guidance for developing and presenting MBA goals.
