3. LBS
4. LSE
5. HEC Paris
6. CEMS ( Confused every mediocre student )
7. Imperial College
As you can notice Im going for the brand here and Im sure that the placements they have are better than what my college does.
I am looking to stay in the US/UK with my job for a few years before pursuing an ExecMBA/PhD depending on where I want to place myself.
Money -- Willing to take up a loan of upto 80 lacs.

Have my 8th semester internship left. Can be a research or industry based one as well.
Plan to apply once I have completed. Will pursue other interests / job for a year till the results are out.
I want to be a management consultant ( read pseudo intellectual at McKinsey )
LORs not an issue. Lot of people love me.
GMAT : Will apply only after I cross 720.
Big question :
Can I Make it?

Hi!
My two cents: I think that you have a standing chance for the top programs if you leverage your leadership/entrepreneurial spirit briefly stated in your post.
Most importantly, you already hand MC experience at EY, which is in line with your post-grad goals...and the fact that you have another internship coming along will further strengthen your profile.
Even more, a 720 is a solid score, so if you get there, I guess you have a good shot at LBS / Duke.
So, you can make it. But it's up to you. Best of luck!

Hi Vasilescu!
Thanks for your reply.
From what I gather, my story should fit into my career track.
I have been a very, very bad student. I have an assorted bunch of grades from Es to As.
Math is something I love, I had won national competition in mathematical modelling but I managed to score only a D in my college level courses.
Why?
I spent all my time thinking about my startup. And how Ill be scaling it. So I have a reason as to why I was sleeping throughout the classes.
But after my internship I want to learn more about strategic management, I want to focus on industrial experience.
Does that sound weird? Would AdComs think im clueless?
