Hi Rahul,

Thanks for the additional detail. Your undergrad academics are strong, but your GPA is somewhat low. As for professional experience, it sounds good, but with only 19 months experience, you may wish to wait before applying (typical candidates have 3-5 years of professional experience at the time of matriculation). It seems like you were somewhat active in college, but not as much since then. I think the lack of extracurricular and community activities is going to be a weakness in your application - perhaps you can take something up now?

I think your school list is fairly well rounded/realistic with your profile. Tepper and Cornell are going to be stretches, but it doesn't hurt to try. I think more realistically, Madison/Purdue/BU are going to be your targets.

Good luck,
Mili

Congrats on the improved GMAT score, Rahul! That's great. I think this will improve your odds at NUS and NTU, but as these programs are getting more competitive/popular, it's tough to say. I am not sure if they require TOEFL - you'll have to look on their websites or call them directly to find out. If you were first division in undergrad, you should be okay as far as undergrad GPA.

Good luck!
Mili

If the decision deadline has past, you may want to call the admissions office and ask for an update on when you can expect to hear. If the decision deadline hasn't passed, hang tight! You'll hear back soon enough!

Best,
Mili
