Hi there - I am a Mechanical Engineer with a first class from Pune University , India. During college days I was culturally active and published stories, directed plays and organized state level events.
After graduation was selected through campus and worked for a Fortune 500 company in Power sector for 2 years in manufacturing background. Got promoted to Managerial position and handled Engineering section for 2 years.
I wanted to do my Master's so gave GRE ( 1120/1600 - very poor in english RC skills) and TOEFL ( 108/120) and went to USA at University of Hartford ( with 50% aid) in 2008 for Master's in Mech Engg ( Manufacturing concentration). Completed a thesis on Desalination of sea water using renewable energy. Worked as college representative, SAE team etc.
After graduation worked for global leading diesel engine manufacturing companies like CAT, Jhhn Deere in USA for 3 years from 2010 till 2013. Although it was a contractual role, work experience was very rich, varied and valuable in terms of my my long term goals. Worked on semi automatic assembly line, engine development and testing programs.
Due to personal problem, I am back to India in 2014 and started looking for job and preparing for GMAT. I still feel my english skills ( RC especially ) are preventing me from reaching 700+ levels. I am now working for a top Energy company and would like to take some time to make sure I score well in GMAT.
I know I can achieve a top 10 or even an Ivy League B schools only if my english was better. Having already worked in USA now I want to study in Europe and work after MBA and explore Europe if possible !
I wish to know if having experience on higher end is kind of disadvantage. I wanted to wait for a couple of years - maybe 10 years of experience and then go for a GMAT. Reason being my personal life and other commitments.
How should I choose a program and what my aim should be for GMAT score and school selection !
I want to know if I can go to dream, Ivy League school if I work hard and score 700-750 range. I think I am a hard working person and want to start my own business with innovation and technology field.

Well, first of all it seems like you are doing the right thing already!
Don't let anybody tell you you can't get where you want to with hard work. Sure, you still have to get that GMAT score!
But keep going at it till you do!Right now though don't worry about where you can or should go, etc. etc.
Focus instead on doing the best you can in your career, taking on as many initiatives and leadership roles as you can, keeping up some volunteer work and of course that GMAT!!!!
And try and schedule your application for before you are 30. It will make things easier.
Best,
JF

Thanks for your great reply ! Definitely people like you are the ones who keep students like me motivated to do the best ! Kudos !
I am already 32 years old ( 22 Bachelor's + 4 Work ex in India + 2 Master's in Engg from USA + 3 Work ex after ME = 32)
As I have family commitments and need time to take care of them. Surely I can go for MBA around 35. Would that make a difference ?
Yep - I am gonna try hard to get GMAT above 720 and will do voluntary work as well to add to my profile.
It feels good talking to you ! Thanks a lot !
