Hello,
-GMAT score of 690 with Q50 and V32
-Experience - 8 years: 2 years invested in an eCommerce start-up in India which failed and then 6 years as Director in another start-up in real-estate in India
-Undergraduate Degree: BSc. in Electrical Engineering from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
I have applied to Berkeley-Haas, Fuqua, Tuck and Emory so far. I also plan to apply to Ross, UCLA Anderson and Carnegie Mellon
What are my chances of getting into any of these Universities?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Nice job in getting your round 1 apps in! Hopefully you’re starting hear about interview invitations soon, if you haven’t already.
So you asked about your chances of admission to your list schools – and unfortunately, it’s not a formula. It’s much more art than science. Your application is considered as a total package and no singular factor is a certain deal-breaker or silver bullet. As I’m sure you know, your GMAT is a bit below average for some of your schools and your years of work experience is a bit high for full-time MBA programs. With that said, those factors can be mitigated elsewhere in your application, namely in your essays and letters of recommendation. So I would make sure those work really hard for you.
Honestly, I wouldn’t waste your time trying to determine yours chances of admission to the schools you already applied to. You’ll have your answer soon enough
For your round 2 strategy, I would urge you to consider a range of schools whose class profile is aligned to yours as much as possible. Ross and UCLA may be a bit of a stretch (not that you shouldn’t apply) but Carnegie-Mellon seems reasonable given the information you provided about your profile.
Best of luck with your round 2 applications! If you’d like to chat further about your round 2 strategy, I’m happy to set up a call. You can PM me or sign up for a free consultation through our website.
Best,
Melody
