I am a former consultant turned founder. I have been working with the government of Uttarakhand and we have worked in 7 districts covering around 500 schools. I am passionate about working with underserved children and providing them with a quality education. As a consultant, I have worked across the United Kingdom (4 yrs.) and India (3 yrs.). I received the MAD (Make a Difference) award for effective teamwork.
I have a master’s degree from KCL then in 2016 I went for a summer Couse at Harvard. I also have extensive volunteer and leadership experience through non-profits and MNCs.
I am looking for an evaluation of my profile and my chances of getting into an MBA program or which school I should apply to? I feel that the amount of experience I have plays a negative role for me.

Ms. Consultant turned Founder – thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera here from Stratus.

Given that you want to grow your current company, admissions committees at 2 year programs will wonder who will be running the show during your absence. If you need to acquire some new skills and knowledge to take the company to the next level you might want to consider part-time or 1 year programs. CBS J-Term comes to mind and they would love your outstanding GMAT. You could possibly be eligible for mid-career 1 year programs like MIT …
Given that you want to grow your current company, admissions committees at 2 year programs will wonder who will be running the show during your absence. If you need to acquire some new skills and knowledge to take the company to the next level you might want to consider part-time or 1 year programs. CBS J-Term comes to mind and they would love your outstanding GMAT. You could possibly be eligible for mid-career 1 year programs like MIT Sloan Fellows and Stanford MSx.
While you have more years experience and are beyond the 80% range at 2 year programs, you might find some success at schools that would value your 760 GMAT and social impact work. Yale SOM, Berkeley Haas and Duke Fuqua come to mind. At these schools you could get some merit scholarship which would allow you to return to India without having to pay off student loans.
