Re: Have school visit ... please advice [#permalink]
hey...i think your profile looks very solid across the board and should have no problem with the top UK schools. only thing would be that your projected gmat score of 720 might not be as high as some other indian, male, IT background applicants. but i think your overall application will make up for it and set you apart from the rest of the pack. the key for you would be to get excellent references, since you'll have everything else within your control wrapped up. there's a big difference between a good reference and a great one. in a great reference, you'll have a supervisor fighting for you and really pulling for you. for instance, if someone says you're a great team player at work, that's obv a good compliment in your references. however, if they said you're the best or at least one of the best team members they've ever had in their 30 years in the business, then all of a sudden, you're looking great and not just good.

anyways, i think your profile is very strong overall and you'll be fine applying to your choice of schools. good luck bud!
