Cheers,
isa. Oh can we build an app that automatically replys. For Example: [*]"Your GMAT is slightly below the schools mean, and although it's not a deal breaker, it is maybe seen as a cause for concern" [*]"Your GMA is slightly below the schools mean, and although it's not a deal breaker, it is maybe seen as a cause for concern" [*]"You are from a typical profile applicant, Male Indian IT w/ High GMAT, it is how you differentiate yourself as unique that will help you application" [*]"You have a great unique profile, you will need to establish clear reasons for wanting an MBA" [*]"Have you concidered taking more Quant Class, or just settle for yale" [*]"Are you Kidding ME??

Cheers,
isa. Might be worthwhile considering a few more points: 7) Uniqueness: What sets you apart? Any accomplishments at work (gone beyond the regular responsibilities, helped the organisation save $500K by leading an efficiency improvement project) or elsewhere (marathon runner who can juggle and solve the crossword while running)? 8) Recommendations: Have you already shortlisted recommenders? How well do they know you? Can they write strong recos for you? 9) Gaps: Are there any gaps in the academic (low grades) or professional (career break) areas? Can you provide an explanation that'll help address these gaps? Some of this might be a little subjective (like the uniqueness stuff). But a candidate is in the best position to judge these rather than peers who have a few sentences to judge the strength of an applicant's profile. Nevertheless, any additional information is helpful.
