Hi All,
I have a similar request to the topic, and so I didn't want to start a new thread.
I just gave my GMAT a few days back and I am looking to apply in R2.
Here's a brief of my profile.
GMAT - 750 (Q 50, V 41, IR 8, AWA -4.5)
GPA - 6.2/10 ( Graduated from Indian Institute of Technology Madras. It was a dual degree in Electrical Engg, which is Masters and Bachelors together. I think this GPA would translate to about 2.4 or 2.5 on 4 scale)
Work ex: Total of 4 years. 2 years in Research and Consulting, clients were Global and Fortune 500. Promoted from an Analyst to a Lead role in a year, where I managed a team of 5 analysts and led projects. I then moved into a different role, 2 years as a Software Engg working in a US based MNC)
Extra Currics: Nothing major, was a member of the institute football team and hostel team. Won a few medals. Have been participating in some community service activities as part of our company's CSR projects.
Do you guys think I should even bother about applying to the top 10 univs?
I am counting out HBS, Stan, Booth, Kellogg, Wharton, etc. I know Duke and Ross are also top 10, but do I atleast have an outside chance of getting into these schools.
The schools I have shortlisted for my apps so far are:
Duke, Ross, Tepper, Darden, UCLA, Cornell, Stern, Tuck and McCombs. I plan to apply to about 5-7 of these.
Please let me know your honest opinions. I would really appreciate it
Thanks!
