Hi Geetika,

Thanks for writing in and sharing those details. I like that your GMAT is both strong and balanced between Quant and Verbal, and your goal of operating a power plant should help differentiate you from the cohort of Indian engineering applicants. As this is a somewhat unique plan, make sure your essays clearly state why your past experience and the MBA will help you reach these goals.

I see that you list a lot of your college service work -- for an MBA application you really want to focus on your post-college accomplishments, just an FYI point.

I would rate Kellogg and Tuck as reach schools, Sloan as a near-reach, and I think the rest would likely be competitive for you. Hope this was helpful and good luck!
