My Profile:
Age:21
Nationality: Indian
B.Tech: 2017 Batch with 60.1% (Textile technology)
Experience: Working in my own startup for almost 2 years now. Raised funding recently, working on product and Marketing.
1 Month of experience in marketing (right after completing graduation)
1.5 Months in a call center
Targeted GMAT Score: 740+
Starting college applications in June 2021
Till then I'll be building my profile and my company. I belong to a below avg background so I didn't have the access to much resources. Starting a new business in the next few days (Blogging, Writing, Startup building resources kind of work)
I completed my B.tech in textile technology but i never really liked it (I just completed my graduation just to get the Degree). To be honest, I completely wasted my 4 years and I could have achieved much more if I was in Information Technology. I am learning new languages, taking courses and working on my startup to stand out of the crowd.
I currently have 1.5 years to do a lot better and I am sure, I'll hit the target and be prepared for the applications. (Python, AI, ML, Javascript, automation, 2 successful startups, leading atleast 100 people and providing them food, and a decent GMAT score) (half of the work is done, as I have raised a good amount of funding for my startup, so this dream doesn't feel like just a dream anymore. And I never settle for less)
So looking at it, what are my chances of getting into an ivy league Bschool for MBA?
My post MBA targets are not clear at the moment but I may go for Consulting, Banking or Entrepreneurship.

Hi arpitj007,
You are true, you startup experience will put your MBA application journey half way through and learning new languages, having certification on certain course can put your profile way beyond on your competitors. Apart from that, have you been involved in other social activities, building your passion with your career or any remarkable work done out of voluntarily?. B Schools will surely appreciate your certification, but to know you in person they evaluate your EC's most. So try build your interest more towards your personal activities ex:sports, travelling, literature etc.
However, with your current profile and expected GMAT score you seems to fit in for some of the Ivy league schools which are good in entrepreneurship, but important to be clear on your post MBA goals to short list the right B school which can fulfill your post MBA dreams.
You can try our B school selector tool to know your chances for MBA program were you can fit in.

I am working on 3 startups at this moment. I raised investment for my first startup. We are working on it with full force. Other two startups are still in product development phase. They will be ready before 31st June.
I'm still very young compared to other people who apply for ivy league colleges. My preferences are USA and Canada.
I am not very good at sports and I pretty much do not like travelling. My second startup is related to blog writing at a huge scale. I am also a writer so I'll be helping a lot of people who are willing to start their own business. Other than that, my social activity is kind of dull.
If I am able to build three successful startups before my college application, I think my profile will stand out from the avg applicants. I have no criminal record or history, and in general, I am a decent person.
3 successful startups, 2/3 Computer languages (expert level), 2.4 GPA (60.1%), GMAT score 740+. What are my chances? I hope it gives a better explanation to my current situation. I am from Hindi medium background, so I still have to work on my English. I am a quick learner, so I will master it hopefully.
