Congrats! You forgot the most important stuff: your stats =)
Nothing exceptional but here goes -
- 28 yrs old, Indian Male IT
- Undergrad - Below avg school back in India. No GPA system, 72% overall. It was nearly impossible to get 80% in that system, so count GPA that way.
- Grad - 3.5 GPA from US university outside top 75.
- Experience - 3 years full-time. Lots of research in grad school though, published papers in different departments, thesis, got federal funding on research proposals etc...
- GMAT - 690 and 6.0 AWA
- low to medium extra curriculars.
- Absolutely solid recommendations from grad Profs and Managers.
- Good essays, submitted the third essay as well. The first para was creative on the dreams theme, but kept the latter paragraphs very simple just connecting to the dreams theme and highlighting progression thus far.
Overall nothing exceptional, but I guess the big thing is there is no big negative either.
