Hi all! I would like all of your inputs as to what I could be doing to make my profile better, and increase my chances of getting accepted to the top B-schools(HBS, Stanford GSB, MIT, Wharton). I am currently enrolled in my final year of my undergrad engineering program in India, and I am applying to the ISB YLP, I plan to apply to other B-schools for the fall 2014 admissions (If I haven't already missed the deadlines). I have my GMAT exam on 26th July 2013. I am hoping to get a decent score of about 700.
Undergrad GPA (Engineering in India): 3.5(till the end of 6th semester, 2 more semesters to go!)
GMAT: 700 (expected)
Internship Experience:
June'11 to August'11: AIESEC development internship to Mauritius (Women Empowerment).
June'13 to December'13: 6 months: Larsen & Toubro Pvt Ltd.
I have worked as a voluntary teacher for teaching elementary maths and english to school children under a community development program.
Received academic scholarship during my first year, and have been in the top 5 of the class.
Extras:
Film and photography
Music
Fine Arts
Horse riding
I don't really have much technical or business experience as of now. But I believe my extras could be a strong part of my profile.

For 2+2 you need stellar stats, impressive internships, and demonstrated leadership experience. I don't believe that you are currently competitive for 2+2. Your GMAT is on the low side and I don't see the kinds of internships that people accepted to 2+2 usually have. However, if you work for a few years and still want to obtain an MBA, you may qualify then for a top MBA program.
Best,
Linda
