Notes:

I’m a 29 year old Indian American male working in tech. I have 6 years of experience in tech helping a Fortune 500 company implement cloud and SaaS solutions to replace their older systems. I also have a successful entrepreneurial experience in launching a small business and scaling it to over $1M in sales within the first year. I have also done some tech consulting in the SaaS space for a European startup which allowed for more client facing role. I’m starting in a senior tech consulting role this month at Big 4. I have a 720 on the old GMAT. And I got a 329 in GRE this year. I have strong ECs which included diverse experiences and involvements. Also, very strong experience in leading collaborations in global teams (during college and at work). I want to do more tech strategic consulting after MBA.

I am targeting some schools in Round 1 (Booth, MIT, Duke, Emory) and others in Round 2.

Hobbies and interests: Entrepreneurship (have started a retail small business as well as manage a small investment fund to invest in real estate)
Tech Strategy (finding ways to optimize organizational efficiency and reduce cost by leveraging latest technology)
Traveling and collaborating across cultural and linguistic barriers (have a lot of experience with it since college and in professional setting)
Networking (I want to be in a metro city for my MBA so I can grow my network)

What schools can I realistically target?
