alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1569 Please apply in the first rounds, if you can. As an Indian engineer, you will face stiff competition from candidates with similar profiles. You have a decent set of target schools, but applying to 9 programs can be tough, so you might want to narrow your list. Interesting that your post mba location is India or Canada, are you not wanting to work in the US, or do you believe that it's unobtainable? Could look at MBAs with STEM option? Make sure you can show impact, at work. Do you undertake activities outside of work? Numbers look very solid! (0)

straygossamers Likes Earned: 0 Hi, Thank you so much for the feedback. I am dis-inclined to work in the USA after MBA. I am married and India and Canada make it easier for him to work during and post my MBA near my location. We will think about staying and working in the USA if it comes down to that though. STEM MBA does look interesting and I am trying to see how that could fit with my post-MBA goals. I do not plan to apply to all 9 in the first round. Some of them are reserved for the second round as well to avoid annoying my recommenders too! Outside of work, I focus on living a zero-waste lifestyle and have participated in lots of fitness-related events like marathons and circuit races. (0)
