Oh I haven't looked at the essays yet. I've started the essays for other schools though. Which other ones are you applying to?

My R1 are: Wharton, LBS, Oxford, Cambridge. I am debating if I want to add HEC Paris to R1 but I think it might be too ambitious to take on. :)

I am also thinking about LBS, Oxford and Cambridge. HEC and IESE are also in my list. But I am concerned about the language. Being in consulting, the first level of success is to integrate with the community. And if I were to work in France or Spain, I need to learn French or Spanish. I am contemplating on that.

25/M/Indian
GRE : 1450/1600 (800Quant) - No plans for GMAT.
Current Position : Business Consultant (for a Belgian Research firm) - 39 months till sept 2012.
Work Desc : Business Consulting, Lobbying and Management of the EU funded RnD Projects. Current portfolio of over EUR 8 mill €/year.
Previously Worked in : Turkey (Ankara), France (Paris), Now in Belgium (brussels).
Post MBA Plans: To continue Consulting/ Emerging Markets (India/SE Asia).

All the very best!
