Varun,

You have a very distinctive profile and an impressive one. Your GMAT is also high enough for all these schools (for INSEAD it could perhaps be higher). What isn't clear from your post is whether you have a leadership position now, whether you are now in industry (as opposed to education or therapy), and what your post-MBA goals are. Assuming you have a strong leadership position now and that you have goals that require an MBA, then you should have a decent shot at all these schools. Another strong school in Canada to consider is Toronto.

Good luck,

Paul,
Thanks for your positive reply. It really boosts my morale. Do you think I have a chance at Schulich though their mba office gave me a negative feedback as i do not have a first div in my bachelors and masters. I tink they discriminate against students from indian subcontinent as even harvard does not require us to do masters .

what do you think of Sauder or Queen's. Which one do you rank better. i have received a positive feedback for sauder.
I am thinking of applying only to schools in canada for the fall 2007. If i get nowhere then i might apply to schoos in europe and us next year.
I highly value your responses so please reply.

Thanks.

Re: Leadership position.
It has taken time to come up the professional ladder. I have attained supervisory capacity where i supervise junior therapists in their respective clinical centres.

i am also involved in establishing services in new centres. I am also involved in making policy and procedures on various issues. I work in schools and am involved in service delivery and planning.
Does it reflect Leadership or one has to be in an industry to demonstrate leadership.
Your feedback is highly welcome.
Thanks.

excelgmat,

You do seem to have decent leadership too. Leadership is leadership whether you get it in industry or elsewhere. Given your GMAT and York's average GMAT I would think your chances there are good. I'm not sure why they seemed to discourage you; maybe you misunderstood the message they were sending? I have also heard good things about Sauder, and have never understood why Business Week ranks Queen's as highly as it does. That said, I don't have data on Sauder's placement stats such as average salary for fresh MBAs so I can't really evaluate their program. Their average GMAT is quite a bit lower than Queen's for what it's worth. Queen's seems to place an inordinate share of its MBAs (36%) in finance.

Good luck,
