Hi, I know that this question should ideally come in with a GMAT Score in hand, but here it goes. Below given is my academic profile, and I need help in identifying B-Schools where I can apply to post GMAT (given that I do come in with a 700 + Score),

Higher Secondary (Pure Science Stream): 84% (CISCE Board)
Graduation GPA: 8.14 / 10.00
Graduation From: West Bengal University of Technology
Major in: Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science & Engineering
Graduation Year: 2018 - June
Work Exp: Business Consultant in Ernst & Young for the last 2 years (June 2018 - till now) - Have worked in the Middle East and some of the biggest manufacturing clients in India.

I was a U-17 CAB (Cricket Association of Bengal) for Railways. But I left Cricket while pursuing my Engineering. Got in to a lot of technical stuff. I was an Android Developer and was interning with a startup during my 3rd-4th Year of Undergrad. I was a content writer and wrote around 100-150 articles, which were posted in various blogging websites.

To be honest, there are no social activities that I was a part of.

What should be the B-Schools I aim for, given the safe, medium and tough rule. Thanking everyone who took out the time to review my profile.

This looks a very solid profile to me. You can sail through any of the top business school with a decent score given that you can highlight the takeaways from your each stint and how those takeaways would be beneficial to your college and post college employer.

Hi Sayan,

With a 700+ GMAT score and consulting experience with Big4, MBA admit to a top tier B-school should be doable.
However since you have only 2 odd years of experience till now, and would likely gain only another 6-8 months if you are eying a 2021 admit, the options become limited.
You can either look at ISB for a 2021 admit, or wait for a year & gain more experience before you apply to IIMs (A/B/C).
I would say ISB makes for a good fit considering they are more aligned towards consulting career options. But yes it all depends on what are your own reasons for pursuing your MBA.
Feel free to join a consultation to get your queries answered.

Cheers!

TopTierMBA - Thank you for the reply. I am looking out for GMAT this December / January 2021, and eyeing for a Round 1 Admit around Mid September 2021, hence, that would be a 2022 admit.

What are my options then? I would look at ISB, NUS - Singapore, INSEAD.. but I need 2-3 more schools from which I want to deem 1 as tough (Maybe Sloan) and 2 Schools which are comparatively easier. Its just that, I would also need to push for a scholarship. So, can you give me a fair idea of the both of this. Thanks!

Sayan,

We are positioned towards admissions to 1-year program for B-schools in India, especially the IIMs, ISB, and SPJIMR. We don't think it would be right to advise you with half the picture. Hope you understand.

But would mention 2 points just to help you streamline your thought process:
- Please focus on what your post-MBA goals are rather than deriving pleasure out of admit to a MIT or Stanford. Choose the school that helps you achieve your targets - short term and long term
- The global situation is quite uncertain and would likely be so for another year or two. You need to choose your school with this context in mind

Cheers !
