Deferred MBA

Hi, I’m a final year undergrad student and I’m planning to apply to some deferred MBA programs this year.

Profile:

Indian, 1st generation college

Academics:

GPA - 9.53/10 (Top 5%) Major - Finance & Investments Target School, Few Ranks in National Level Exams Yet to take GMAT (Expecting ~ 740)

Experience:
  1. Startup Founder - (1.5 years) Very small team - Niche market - Good Revenue - Now Shut (Looking at new opportunities)

  2. Founder’s Office Intern - Strategy & Operations , High growth startup

Leadership

Not a lot of leadership positions - College E-cell member, High school House captain

As per my current profile - what should be my realistic chances of getting into a deferred MBA - (Target- Columbia, Kellogg, Wharton)

Looking to further build my profile for the program - any recommendations for the same like where am I lacking or what should I look into?

Thanks!
