Hi Admissionado,
Thanks in advance for evaluating my profile. I'm currently debating on whether to apply this year or the next, and your inputs would help me to understand the areas where I would need to focus further.
Demographic - Male, Indian, 25 yo
Education - IIT Delhi, Major Area - Chemical Engineering (2014)
B.tech: 8.1/10
M.tech: 8.9/10 (how do you convert these to a 4-point scale)
Work Experience - Currently working (1.5 y+) at a leading consumer products company as a Technical Project Leader, leading product design for 3 innovation projects in India and SEA. Work involves leading cross functional project teams and managing project networks for landing cost saving and innovation technologies. Prior to this, I spent a similar amount of time (1.5y) as a trainee, where I finished 9 internal consulting projects across different functions in the organisation.
Extra Curricular Achievements -
1. Published a research paper in Chemical Engineering Science
2. Represented university at seminars/conferences in Shanghai and Paris
3. Student mentor and teaching assistant
GMAT - 740 (Q50, V40, IR 8) - is this good enough and should I retake it?
Target Schools - Harvard, Stanford, INSEAD, Sloan, Kellogg
Post MBA Goal - Consulting
Let me know what you think!

Hey dude,
So overall your profile is very solid.
You come form IIT with very good grades.
You have an excellent GMAT (No, dont retake)
You have a very good job and have moved within it well.
Okay, all good so far, and the basis of this profile should make you competitive at Top10 schools.
However:
- Your work experience feels a bit junior. It may be that I lack details, but keep that in mind when you apply. (And think about when is the right time for you - this year or next)
- I don't yet see your STORY - I don't get a feeling of who you are, what you want, what is unique about you, or what your dreams are "I want to become a consultant" might be realistic, but it won't spark any passions, and won't be a strong enough story likely to get you into Top5 programs. They want uniqueness, ambition, vision, dreams... So think about that as you prepare your application.
I hope this helps.
