Re: Profile Evaluation
Hi salmanahmed,
Thanks for writing in and sharing your details. It seems that you have a very balanced application across the major areas. Your GMAT cracks the 80% barrier in both subjects, your work experience is diverse and you have tangible examples of extracurricular and leadership activities.
The thing to recognize, however, is that you selected top-tier programs, where most of the applicant pool will have very distinguished profiles. The issue then is how you differentiate yourself -- you will want to address why each school is a good match for you and how the school will help you meet your post-MBA goals. With INSEAD, for example, you will also want talk about why studying abroad appeals to you, and why you are seeking an accelerated program.
Overall I would say you should be competitive at these schools, but keep in mind that differentiation is everything at this level.
Good luck!
