Hello, I'm Amit. Originally from northern India, I come from a small town. At the moment, I'm studying at a small college in my city. I'm planning to apply for a deferred MBA at a few top US business schools. It's my dream to study MBA at a top US business school.
Even though I am not from a top Indian university like the IITs or NITs, I still want to give it a try.
I just want to know if my profile is good enough to get into top US deferred MBA programs. The following is a list of my qualifications.
Name - Amit Singh
Education - Bachelor of arts (2.2 GPA), Master of Arts (3.8 GPA), Bachelor of business studies (3.6 GPA).
Leadership- High school football captain, college sports committee leader, worked for a non-profit for two years
extracurriculars - Played football state level & state level shooting competition.
cocurricular - Won many sports competitions at school and university level, won a marketing case competition at college.
* I've two bachelor's degrees One in Arts and the other in business.
* I'll also be preparing for GMAT this year and will try to get a score above (720).
* I'll be working for an FMCG company for two years as an area sales manager.
- Is my profile decent enough to get into top us MBA programs? What should I do in the coming 2 years to increase my chances and make my profile more competitive to get into my dream (M7) schools? Would a low GPA in my 1st undergrad degree affect my chances and should I apply on the bases of my second undergrad degree?

Responding to your questions:
Q: Is my profile decent enough to get into top us MBA programs?
I don't believe your profile will be that competitive for the top deferred MBA programs in the US. These programs are incredibly selective and are reserved for candidates with impeccable credentials. You have a good profile but there are several areas of concern.
Q: What should I do in the coming 2 years to increase my chances and make my profile more competitive to get into my dream (M7) schools?
A: Accrue some top work experience. Focus on building out your extracurricular involvement and community leadership in a big way. Engage with the schools by attending admissions events and talking to students, alumni and professors.
Q: Would a low GPA in my 1st undergrad degree affect my chances and should I apply on the bases of my second undergrad degree?
A: Yes, it will have an impact but the degree of the impact is questionable. Thankfully you have two other strong GPAs to counterbalance your arts degree GPA. That helps, but it doesn't erase it. You will need to do very well on the GMAT and do all the things above mentioned so you can have a holistically strong GPA.
Let us know how else we can be of help.
