Hi Linda,
I am listing my profile below. I just took my GMAT and I am over whelmed with the amount of information that is out there for post GMAT stuff. I want to apply to top 10 US B Schools. Do you think I stand a chance ? If yes then can you suggest 3 of them which would be good for me.
Also any other tips you have as to how I can make my application look better ?
Thanks,
Ankita

I was top of my class for first two years and 2nd for the 3rd and 4th year.
Grad: Master in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Tech
I graduated with a 3.37 GPA but the thing that stand out for me is that I was the only one in the entire class of 2007 who did a
thesis. My thesis work was on something completely new to me and I put day and night together for two years to finish it. My advisor can vouch for that.

I am working in networking here too.
I got promotion within my first year of work and a lot of appreciation from management.
Goals:
Short term: I want to get into a role where I wil be challenged to manage people and technology
Long Term Goal: I want to go back to my hometown and start some sort of organization to help with women education.
Passion:
-I am very passionate about running and do marathons every so often. I even run for charities and raised money for education of poor people through my running.
- I was the Leader of an organisation of new women grads at my company which helped girls to make the transition from college life to professional life, give guidance for being successful in professional life and peer networking in general.
- I have volunteered for a lot of organizations. One that stands out is a Hospice for HIV infected people. I use to volunteer there for 4 hours every week.
- When I was in college I had adopted a poor girl in Bombay and helped her through school education
yes I think you have a competitive profile for the top 15. Could you be a little more specific about your
MBA goal? I'll be better able to suggest programs then.
