6. Member of JCI India – Involved in many community development projects
7. I want to work for 2-3yrs in a Fortune 100 company and go back to India to run family business
8. I am thinking of applying for Round 3 for five schools in top 35. I know this is kind of late but due to personal issues I couldn’t apply in Round 1 or 2.
9. As most of the applicants from Consulting/IT backgrounds, will my profile have an edge over them?
10. I don’t want to wait till fall 2013 as there will not be any change in my profile other than adding 1more year to my work ex. With the above criteria, can I go for round 3? And what are my chances of getting in to any of the top 35 schools in the US?

With GPA of 2.45 and GMAT 650, it is very difficult to get into any of top 15 schools unless you have some other outstanding achievements on your resume.

If you are targeting schools in the range (16 to 35), I think you have a good chance.

Two strong points in your application:
-international exposure
-family business

Family business can act as both positive and negative. If you can articulate your vision properly, I have seen people getting into decent schools.

If you can show good leadership examples, you can even get into top 15 schools as well.

Good luck!
