Hi there!
Thanks for sharing your information. Your academic performance is lagging a bit for your applicant pool. While you have a strong GPA, your GMAT is falling close to or right at the median at a lot of your target programs. I like your work experience and the career progression to date. Your involvement on the other hand (especially after graduating) is rather light which hurts you when considering full time programs. Finally, your goal is too generic. Climbing the ladder in an organization doesn't tell the AdComm anything. Without a solid understanding of both your short/long-term goals and why you need an MBA, school fit and program type is tough to assess. Kenan-Flagler and Kelly are schools that are likely aligned with your profile assuming you can be more precise about your goals. The other full-time two year programs will fall into the stretch bucket for you.

Hi there,
Thanks for that quick and honest feedback. When you say "Your academic performance is lagging a bit for your applicant pool", is it the percentage of marks in graduation that you are taking into picture? In my opinion, while it is next to impossible to score above 80%, a score of 75% above is a rare thing under mumbai university. Whereas, a score of 75% above is relatively common among students from other universities in India. Wouldn't the mba schools take this mere fact into account during the selection process since the grading system varies significantly from one university to another?
Also, you have mentioned that my involvement has been light after my graduation. What type exactly? Would you be more specific here for my understanding please.
Lastly, would I stand a chance at other schools on my list (or even better ones) if I improve my gmat score to 700+ considering the above profile of mine?
Thanks a lot for taking out time to evaluate my profile!
