Also volunteer at my local aquarium educating the public about ocean conservation and the local wildlife.

Applying Round 2 to Stanford, Harvard, MIT, and Kellogg (MMM) with hopes of moving back to the West Coast afterwards.

Already got an admit from one of the T15 with no scholarship in round 1, applying to the rest in round 2.

I really need a scholarship to afford an MBA so will be applying to lower ranked schools as well. I currently work in Big 4 strategy team.

I'm an MiM candidate at Kellogg expected to matriculate in June 2026. I have an undergraduate degree in engineering from IIT. I will be joining DHL Consultings Americas office as a Mgmt Consultant post graduation from Kellogg.
My undergrad GPA is 7.38/10 and am expecting a 3.7+ from Kellogg at the time of applications.
I have a lot of internships ( 5+) at start-ups across various roles(strategy, marketing, Product Management, operations), industries and sizes. From dorm-room stage to unicorns. Also held multiple leadership roles during my time at college. Founded and headed two social initiatives on sustainability and women empowerment and informally mentored underclassmen from underrepresented backgrounds.
Plan to exit consulting soon into a start-up. Post MBA goal is investing ( not sure if VC/PE/Growth equity ). Longer term goal is entrepreneurship in India ( Inspired by family legacy and want to give back to country )

- No excuse for low GPA, I was simply didn't have the necessary drive or subject matter interest in school, was more interested in playing music and doing enough to graduate. Pursued that simultaneous to my conventional job for a few years after school and actually had a couple cool licensing deals with corporate brands but in last few years decided to focus on career.
- unfortunately had an illness at the end of last year that led to me have serious vision issues, being laid off and subsequently on disability for the first part of this year. Have since mostly recovered except for an operation I should be able to get next spring.
- volunteer leader for a high school ministry
