Profile evaluation for 3rd Round

For round 3, I hate to be blunt but your chances are marginal. Here are my reasons: unfortunately, you come from an applicant pool that is so large that it, in itself, becomes a disadvantage. Secondly, you're looking to gain entry into an industry that is more traditional, more original for MBA applicants' post-MBA goals. This means that chances are schools have already rounded out the schools in terms of finance-focus folks in earlier rounds. In this last round of b-school admission, schools tend to look for someone who has a special background, something additional and spectacular to offer. You're from India, with IT pre-MBA, and a finance post-MBA goal. There's really not a whole of difference between you and the folks that schools have already admitted in the earlier rounds. My suggestion to you is to wait and apply come fall for the class of 2014.
