Hi Vikram,
// Academics: BTech (Mechanical) IIT Bombay; CPI 7.73 10th: 92%; 12th; 84.8%
GMAT Score: 720 Q:50 V:37 AWA:4.0
Work Experience/Achivements: Oil and Gas Consulting (Derrick Petroleum Services), Business Analyst, 2 yrs
I work on Production and Economics modelling of Oil and Gas fields, worked as an analyst for several consulting projects
That's a pretty unusual and niche role. When you say modelling, do you use any specific tool (Excel, MATLAB etc)?
// Currently playing lead role in establishing Corporate Social responsibility division of the company. I also plan to make a non profit website which will bring together Volunteers and NGOs in Bangalore by providing more information about different NGOs and their Volunteer requirements(I am in very initial stages on this)
Both are currently work-in-progress. Do you think you'd achieve a significant amount of progress before you submit your applications?
// reduced my weight from 110kgs to 80kgs (I know not so relevant from MBA point of view but I have spent a good amount of time on this)
Definitely relevant, bro. It can be a very impactful personal success story to share as it highlights many things about your resolve, planning and execution capabilities. Be careful about how you present it though.
// Career Goals: I would like to get into Energy divisions of major investment banks or specialized Ibanks which deal in Energy (example Tudor Pickering Holt, Scotia Waterous).
The reason I was asking about the specifics of what you currently do was to understand how those skills could be used as a foundation for the Investment banking roles.
//Could you please rate my chances at my target B schools?
I'm afraid I can't rate chances based on the limited info that get's shared on discussion forums. Which is why we have the MBA MAP option - for those who want to go beyond the high-level discussions and dig DEEP.
But what I can share is that it's a good, competitive mix of schools. Some of them would get people who'd have more experience than you do. Others (like Stanford) would have a HIGHLY competitive applicant pool. And your background will give your apps a fillip.

If you can get a GMAT score of 750+ then sure, go for it. For the schools you are targetting it could make a difference.
