Your profile is pretty good however it will not stand out unless you can really highlight your differentiating factors. Your scores fall within the range of most top universities however as MBA admissions become increasingly competitive, it is important to have a "wow" factor to make you stand out from the crowd. You need to focus on outstanding areas of work experience or interesting extracurriculars in addition to demonstrating that you can handle the academic load of a top university.

Hi,
Thanks for the evaluation..
My extra curricular activities includes Painting, Dramatics, Modeling, Story Writing etc. I have won many prizes in these activities.
Can you please suggest some more which i can add to this list.

Thanks

Hi A,
Thanks for your post. Unfortunately I am not too familiar with MBA programs in India. Are you considering programs in the US?

Hi,
I would surely consider programs in US. Can you suggest some that suits my profile.

What are you post-MBA goals?

Hi,
I want to pursue specialization in finance/economics.

Wharton, NYU (Stern), Duke (Fuqua) and Cornell (Johnson) are all schools to consider is you plan to focus on finance/econ.
