Hello Mr. Indian Tech Consultant,
To start, you have strong work experience. Admissions committees will be impressed by you leading the accelerator project after only 2 years. Examples like that which illustrate your leadership are important because you have slightly less experience than the average applicant.
Your post-MBA goal of data analytics is realistic and it is a role I feel you will succeed in. Just be sure to cite how transferable your past experiences are.
You mentioned being a blogger, but hopefully you can discuss other extracurricular activities as well. Schools want to feel that you will make an impact outside of the classroom.

Hello Mr. Indian Tech Consultant,
To start, you have strong work experience. Admissions committees will be impressed by you leading the accelerator project after only 2 years. Examples like that which illustrate your leadership are important because you have slightly less experience than the average applicant.
Your post-MBA goal of data analytics is realistic and it is a role I feel you will succeed in. Just be sure to cite how transferable your past experiences are.
You mentioned being a blogger, but hopefully you can discuss other extracurricular activities as well. Schools want to feel that you will make an impact outside of the classroom.
Your stats are also strong, although if you can improve your GMAT score to closer to the average of your demographic – more like a 740+ – that will improve your chances even further. I think you do have a chance at McCombs, but it will be quite competitive to gain admission, so I would suggest you consider some slightly “safer” choices too. Waiting an additional year, where you can gain more work experience and extracurricular experiences, as well as potentially a higher test score, would likely improve your chances. As for McCombs, I see your odds of admission there to be around the program’s estimated acceptance rate of 35%, and it will be even higher with a boost in your quant profile. Best of luck to you!
