Hi there,

Congrats on the GMAT!! And your academic performance overall. The biggest challenge to you is, given the caliber of school you are interested in, competition is so still among Indian engineering applicants. So you need to differentiate from those similar to you. The more you can demonstrate LEADERSHIP at work (or even outside of work) the better..... think of any ways, big or small, that you can 'go beyond' what is expected of you on the job. Take initiative, suggest ideas for improvements, make an impact, be remembered in the coming years of work so that you have specific examples you can cite in your resume and on applications. It would also be a plus to get regularly involved in the community, for a cause you are interested in. Finally be sure you research thoroughly, related to your post-MBA goals, and related to school choice, as that will only help you in the strength of your essays and interview answers. Good luck, keep in touch!
