Well...I think there are only certain schools that these high flying PE associates apply to- (the trinity). The rest of the schools dont seem to attract the high flyers nor do they seem to be biased towards. It is the same aura of exclusivity that drives the value of a HSW higher...sort of an italian sports car or something right?
But I truly believe that each of us will be a 'fit' in some school...might not be the highest ranked or the most popular on b-week, but one where you will have opportunities to 'level' the playing field between the high flying PE assoc and yourself ...

Asish, you answer your own question.
Compare what you said here to your comment about s/w engineers who sit in front of computers all day and how they dont exhibit any leadership. You probably made the statement about indian s/w folks without really understanding that even in those so-called nerdy jobs, you need to exhibit leadership day in and day out. Even a s/w professional would have demonstrated leadership as long as he/she excelled at work. Think about this, in any crowded environment, unless you are outstanding you wouldn't be successful.
But no matter what, many people make an automatic assumption that an IT consultant doesnt have any leadership abilities. You made the same assumption. The primary reason for this is the lack of understanding of how the tech consulting business runs. When hbs_aspirant talks about how thousands of these leaders are forced to work in an undervalued profession due to circumstances, you countered by saying that it doesnt matter. Yet,you also offer the same defence saying that you hated the subject and professor when you studied and thats why you underperformed.
All this answers your original question resoundingly. That how great you are as an applicant is to a large extent based on the perception of the reader. He/she may not know zip or has incorrect assumptions about the nature of your work. If thats the case, your app, in avi's words, would be flushed down the drain.
My intention is not to disrespect you, but to highlight how ad-coms automatically make assumptions about an applicant, purely based on background.

alright, i get you nc.
My rant was based on the fact that for overrepresented groups, applicants are at a significant disadvantage sometimes.
Anyhow, I do understand IT consulting since I was consulting for an year and a half. My perception is based on my experience, not a presumption.
My apologies to everyone who I may have offended.
Its probably the stress of the applications getting to me I guess.
