Hello,
I would be grateful if anyone could evaluate my profile and let me know my chances of getting into a good MBA program in the US.
24 Years Old | Indian | Male (non-IT)
Education:
1. Bachelors of Business Administration graduate from Osmania University Hyderabad (75%)
2. 12th Standard CBSE (75%)
3. 10th Standard CBSE Board 10th - 90%
4. GMAT: 720-750 (Looking to get a high score in GMAT to compensate for my average scores in graduation)
Professional Experience:
1. Currently working as an AI/ML analyst at Apple. I have recently joined the company about a month ago.
2. Worked as a Subject Matter Expert for Global Fraud investigation team at Uber (3 years 9 months, 1 promotion, taken up mentoring and leadership roles for short periods, dealt with international stakeholders almost throughout my work experience at Uber, impacted and lead projects that saved thousands of dollars for the company in fraud losses)
3. Digital Marketing associate at an Online Event planning startup (worked for 6 months, gained a lot of exposure into marketing and business operations)
4. Interned at Amazon as a customer service associate during my undergrad days (part-time work experience around 10 months)
Extra-Curriculars:
1. Professional E-sports FIFA player, YouTuber, and an occasional streamer on twitch (Played lots and lots of tournaments nationally and locally and won many of them)
2. E-sports event organizer as well
3. Have achievements in terms of winning tournaments of Cricket, football, and volleyball during my schooling and undergrad days. Now I play for my company's corporate team
Community Service:
1. Worked with Make A Difference as their Discover mentor (it is also one of the few NGOs that have been listed as the best places to work for in India)
Short term goal: To take up a product manager role at a tech company
Long Term goal: To become a leading voice in the tech space or start my own company
There is very little time until the round 3 deadlines for most US B-schools, I would like to know if I will have a good shot at my target B-schools:
Dream: Columbia, Chicago Booth, Kellogg, Duke Fuqua
Back up: Tuck, NYU,
Could you please help me in clearing a big confusion that I have, should I apply now for round 3 or wait for next year? If I have to push it to round 1 next year, then I would be happy only if I get a scholarship at any of the above schools (do you think that's possible?) Also, I'm very much inclined towards the tech industry and product management roles, which schools do you suggest if any?
Thanks for your time

akhilvarma8:
Thank you for reaching out and for sharing all of this information on your profile. Terrific work on all you have achieved thus far.
Q: Could you please help me in clearing a big confusion that I have, should I apply now for round 3 or wait for next year?
A: You should wait until next year. While you have a great profile, you come from a competitive demographic and will have a hard time filling the "niche" candidates that typically gain acceptance in Round 3. It's also been an extremely competitive year so I am not sure how many open seats will really be around by the time R3 kicks off. Separately, is your GMAT a TBD? If so, when are you planning to squeeze that in? For your background in particular, that is a big X factor.
Q: If I have to push it to round 1 next year, then I would be happy only if I get a scholarship at any of the above schools (do you think that's possible?)
A: It is possible. Your GMAT score will matter a lot. For these schools though you will need a killer application. I wouldn't count on it for Columbia, Booth and Kellogg; you have a shot at partial money for the others.
Q: Also, I'm very much inclined towards the tech industry and product management roles, which schools do you suggest if any?
A: You can and should consider NYU, Stanford GSB (real reach though), UC Berkeley Haas, UCLA Anderson, UT McCombs, Michigan Ross, Columbia, MIT Sloan, Carnegie Mellon Tepper among others.
Overal, I strongly recommend you get in touch with us at Admissionado if you are still keen on a R3 application or if you ultimately push to R1 for next year. You have some great statistics and experiences and need to put it altogether in a crisp and cohesive package. If you go with R1, you could also benefit from our Advanced Planning Program which is a pre-application mentoring arrangement to help you get ready before the applications are even released.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
