Hi rashimsethi,

Thank you for your post. You've unfortunately provided very, very little information. Please take a look at other posts to see the type of information individuals share when requesting a profile evaluation. There's a great deal more to profile reviews and selecting MBA programs than simply your GMAT score and industry experience. If you provide complete details it enable me to respond accordingly!

Thanks,
Greg

Thank you, rashimsethi.

Given how crowded and competitive the landscape is for Indian applicants, one common rule of thumb is to consider programs for which your GMAT score is 30 or 40 points above the class average. That doesn't mean you "shouldn't" apply to other programs with higher averages; it just means those will be reaches (or considerable reaches) for you. (Gender dynamics do come into play, as the Indian male applicant field is indeed even more crowded than the Indian female applicant field.)

I encourage you to read this GMAT Club analysis of the chances for Indian applicants across the top 50 programs in the U.S. You will see that applicants with a 720/730 GMAT have around a 5% acceptance rate to top 20 programs. That acceptance rate more than doubles among applicants with a 740/750 GMAT score (to 11%).

You still haven't shared much information (look at other posts to see what people typically share), so it's still tough to say, but your career goals look rather undeveloped, your post-college extracurricular involvement looks quite limited, and I can't see what unique story you have. As a result, and combined with my previous points about the GMAT, it seems to me that schools in the T10 to T20 would be a reach for you. You align better in the T20 to T30, and your scores would begin to stand out in the T30 to T45 range. (If you meaningfully developed the rest of your story, career goals, and profile, then you might begin to consider some programs toward the back end of the T20. However I don't see it right now.)

Keep in mind that programs in the T30 to 45 will not accept you if your story and career goals are undeveloped and you don't offer them much beyond "supply chain consulting" and your GMAT score. Please read this blog post for detailed information on the career goal, why MBA, and school research and engagement fronts (i.e., how specific, developed, and coherent your rationales need to be), and please consider what you do / can do to stand out with respect to community engagement, your story, and what unique perspective and contributions you could bring to an MBA class. You've shared little information, so maybe the compelling elements of your story are hiding behind the scenes. But I don't quite see what those factors would be as of now, and that will make acceptance to any program difficult.

I do work with clients on their School Selection processes. That would typically start with two hours of service. Please email [email protected] if that would be interest to you.

Best Regards,
Greg
