Hi,
My profile:
I am a over represented Indian IT male, i have a work ex of 1.3 years
1 year with a NGO and after that i have joined a Top IT MNC company as a software engineer, but as Indian IT pool is so big, i am trying to move to banking sector after 1 yr.
My extracurricular activities

--> won several chess competitions at college and State level
--> Presented paper at national conferences and won several inter universities paper competitions during college time.
--> have done my 6 month internship in Business development department of a IT company.
My Grades:
I have scored 70% in my B.Tech (80% was the highest) From a 60 year old college and considered as a good college . i have scored 65% ,65% in my 12th and 10th respectively.

My questions:

(1) What you should do is to focus on building a life, not a resume. Man up, and make a decision based on what you want inside and what interests you, and not what you think will get you some external validation from someone else (in this case, b-school). Because chances are folks will see through your intentions. If you want to work in non-profit, then work in non-profit. If you don't, then don't work in it just because you think it will somehow make you less of an Indian IT dude or whatever.
(2) Be a stronger writer and develop stronger critical thinking skills. It's certainly possible, but there's no short-term fix. It takes time.
(3) You're not the only Indian person applying who has percentage grades. Don't worry about it.
(4) I don't know. Was it a good move or a bad move for YOU? Was it in YOUR best interests?
(5) I can provide feedback, but I can't give you opinions or aspirations. There's a ton of info on this board as well as others. If you've read other posts, I think you can start to figure out which schools are in your range. Then, do some research on those schools, and pick the ones that you would love to attend.

hi Alex,
Yes, you are right what matters is my interest and I’ll go for what I want,,,,,,,,,
But right now my main concern is my low score in English, can you suggest how to show the adcoms that I have strong command over English(like by taking some courses, scoring high on Toefl, giving strong LOR etc).
I have read 100 of profiles but still did not figure out what is unique profile, can you give me some brief overview on this.
At last thanks a lot for your advice…..!!!
