Vijay,

Good profile. The only issue I see is the biomedical researcher background. Schools want to see leadership so they will expect you to show them that you do more than sit in a lab all day experimenting (to put it crudely). Show them team leadership, impact, bigger-picture initiatives if possible. This is where your company in India can help you. I recommend that you make that company "real" to the adcoms with details, stories, facts. Show them that it has exposed you to business issues. If you do that then you I think you could be competitive at the schools you mentioned, with Columbia and Kellogg being less doable perhaps than MIT and Chicago and odds probably best at Michigan and NYU.

Good luck,

Thanks for your inputs Paul, I will work on putting my experience in setting up business in a transparent manner. By the way, the company is "Real" :wink: and I am one of the listed directors.
