AbdulWasey1 hi,
My name is Shimri Winters and I head ARINGO's strategy team (I am also a London Business School grad...)
you have a fantastic profile. really!
- great undergraduate academics
- good GMAT score
- nice extracurricular activities
- Work - well, I need to hear more about this, but, it sounds like you have made progress and work with many international teams
SO... all good
"all" you are missing now is writing the best ever applications and submitting some unique applications to the top schools!
Regarding school wish list - there is no such thing as "must apply to". you need to decide on your criteria and apply accordingly (you suggested schools from India, Singapore, UK and US, some are more tech, some are more finance, and some are general management, some are harder to get into some are easier...). So I suggest you do some soul searching on what is important for you (rankings, cost, career progress, location, chances of acceptance...) and that will help you decide which and how many schools you are going after.
Your list is definitely realistic, it sounds like you chose the best school in India (ISB) two amazing schools in Asia / Singapore (NUS and INSEAD), two wonderful schools in Europe (LBS, Oxford) and 2-3 random schools in the US (great MBA programs, I am just not sure why you chose these three over the other top 10 schools?). I don't think you are missing any school although, in Europe, Cambridge, IESE or HEC are all ranked similarly . in the US you are clearly going for location? not sure if you are going for NYU's MBA or Tech MBA? and what about other schools? I don't think the 3 mentioned US schools fit your career goals (which I don't know, but can assume...) for example, why are you going for Booth and not Kellogg? and why are you going for NYU/Yale -> two schools with little fit to your profile? (not saying you are doing a mistake, just trying to understand your rational)
Happy to discuss further (I am always on [email protected])! We also have an exclusive discount for GMATClub users on both our strategy process (career goals and school selection) and our comprehensive services (helping you submit the best possible applications) in case you are interested in our MBA admissions services
In any case, GOOD LUCK!!!

AbdulWasey1, a few thoughts on your profile evaluation:
Hope this helps some and sparks the right questions for you.
Cheers,
- Your academic profile looks about average (or slightly below) given the GPA; the fact that you haven't mentioned your undergrad college makes me believe it's not from Tier 1/2? The GMAT will help overcome that to some extent. Do bear in mind however that one can easily add 20-30 points to a given school's average to get a sense of the Indian GMAT average. For reasons mentioned here, we don't speculate on school selection and chances. However, given the earlier perspective, the current score would be at about the ballpark for most of the schools in your target range.
- The professional experience sounds promising in that you seem to have transitioned from a normal coding/testing (?) role at HCL into the startup world as a PM/sales. It would however be important to understand the scale of the startup, funding raised etc - it's a bit of a double edged sword being at a startup. It will also be good to understand how this connects with your post-MBA plans.
- The ECs arc looks good since you don't seem to have stopped it after college. While co-starting an NGO sounds fantastic, the real test would be knowing the impact that you've delivered/hope to deliver - schools would judge on that yardstick. If you haven't thought on that front, start doing so for getting the right mileage in your applications.
- Broadly speaking, you should have a shot at the top 25 league. For INSEAD and other European programs, international experience matters. Have you had any?
Hope this helps some and sparks the right questions for you.
Cheers,
