Hi I just scored a 700 (Q46V40) on the GMAT.
I am an engineer from BITS Pilani (a very highly reputed university in India). After graduation I worked with Oracle as an application developer for 2 years. Consequently I pursued a fellowship called the Young India Fellowship (200 selected individuals from all over India) and received a Post Graduate Diploma in Liberal Arts and Leadership. After the fellowship I chose to work for a mid size manufacturing firm (~USD 100m) in a role that comprises business development, operations and marketing. At this company I work closely with the senior management including the CEO, CFO and VP- Technology. My overall work experience currently is 3 years and would 4 years at the time I enter b school in 2017.
I have strong extra-circular activities. I have represented my school and college football teams at the highest levels and held positions of responsibilities in various departments in school and college. I graduated with a CGPA of 7.34/10.
What are the schools I should aim at? I want to do an mba focused at strategy and operations and don't want to end up with consulting.
I am not aiming for the top 10 schools. Would INSEAD be possible with a good recommendation from an INSEAD alumnus? Which US schools should I aim for? Is IMD worth a shot?

Hey dude,
Great to hear from you!
So of course I could use more detail about you and your work experience
but from what you have written here, things look pretty good. Yes, you are an Indian/Male/IT candidate which will make things really hard, but your work with people on the CXO level as well as your employer will give you a nice boost.BITS Pilani is a pretty good school, a bit a level below what Top 10 schools recruit at however, and your GPA could be higher.
I'd say offhand without more detail that you can likely apply in the 10-30 range in US schools, and that you can for sure give INSEAD a shot. It may be a bit tough, but its worth it.
