- As written elsewhere, because of the volume of applications received from India, it is always best to apply during round 1 of the application cycle. However, since there are few women who apply to the program from India, I feel that it is okay to apply in the subsequent rounds. Even if the class is filling up, the adcom will really love to admit more women.
- All your other stats, they look great. I'm worried a little with your experience, the adcoms cares about work experience a lot, especially if you have weaker parts to your application in other areas. Your work experience is on the lower end of the scale (it was 50 months mean last year).
- As has been pointed out all over, the adcom cares about the GMAT, a lot. The adcom uses the GMAT not only to separate applicants with the same profiles but also to award the more than $2+ million merit scholarship cash available each cycle. The 560 you have is two points off of the lower end of the 580-710 80percentile etc. It's a weak score, but although it doesn't guarantee you an admit, it doesn't completely extinguish your chances of getting in either.
As a gambling individual myself, who has played Russian roulette with my applications to different schools when the odds of getting in were virtually 0.000000000001%, I recommend that you turn in that application. Apply! You have nothing to lose really, except the application fee. It is also good practice...in case you don't succeed and consider reapplying in the next cycle when you will have 36 months WE and perhaps a new GMAT score.
Good luck.
PS: I overcame the 0.000000000001% probability of getting in that cycle more than a decade ago. So...impossible is nothing. Believe.

Hi,
I am from India and looking to apply in Round 1 and want to know is TOEFL score required for admissions.
Also I have done my Bachelors degree from institute where medium of instruction was english so can I get TOEFL waiver based on this fact? If no can I submit my TOEFL score say couple of weeks after deadline?
Is there any 1 out there from India who has got this TOEFL waiver??Would really appreciate if people in this thread can share there thoughts on this.
Thanks

I turned in my application on Jan 8th. Damn! Was really hoping for better odds with the UIUC application!
