Hey dude,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I was on the road for about 10 days there, so I'm catching up on things just now.
So let's jump right in!
So you have a preeeetty nice profile for a finance guy. I'm missing a bit of detail (like your achievements, your leadership, which bank you worked for), but basically things look good enough that you can aim for Top schools. I mean IIT grad, with great grades, a great GMAT, some solid international experience in finance....
Yes, you still have to have solid gold essays and a jewel of a story, but the foundation is there.
I think the main challenge for you will be in how you will differentiate yourself from other Indian finance candidates - what makes you unique? What makes you better?
Your school list is solid. A few more good schools for finance are Sloan, Johnson, and then as safer schools Johnson and UNC. Eventually Haas makes sense if you want to do finance from a West Coast school.
I hope this helps out, and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate,
Best,
JF

Hey,
Thanks for the evaluation.
I was working as a consultant in Front Office team at one of the largest Australian banks.
As for the leadership experience goes, I have gotten the opportunity to lead and manage few projects in South East Asia region and have worked with C class executives at banks and senior executives at regulatory bodies.
One follow up question - Out of the list of the schools,how would you rate them in terms of stretch/ competitive and reach?
Cheers,
MZ
