I don't know if the below average GMAT score might work against him, especially considering the demographic. But if I were to pick a university, I'd say Harvard primarily because of the nature of the work done in Africa and Harvard placing a little more emphasis on the overall profile than purely on GMAT scores.

Only HBS can take the risk of accepting based on the passion.
Stanford is Hungry for test scores, everyone knows and Wharton, well, is not accepting of the fact that an average indian male will be a valuable addition

My vote goes to HBS

And by top 15 indian engg college do you mean IIT??

Yes i agree but he did take a lot of reattempts so I have no idea which profile is he talking about
But definitely the IIT brand value is a major +1 in MBA application,
A girl got 80k scholarship with nearly the same profile as mine lol

Without looking at the grades, the impact of the work experience and community involvement had GSB written all over it.

Kudos to the applicant for not letting his academic scores prohibit him from shooting for the moon because he clearly demonstrated it with his impact on the world even before being an MBA student.

Although for the initial profile post, it would’ve been nice to know what the scores were. The reveal said that the candidate was basically a valedictorian, which actually makes the lower GMAT a slight blemish to an already stellar profile.
