Why are you applying in 2007 instead of 2009 or so?

well the 2007 is primaril for me to finish my mba soon and start off on a good job. I would have taken the CAT for entrance into india's top schools but then i wanted some work experience.. esp working in this software industry makes me a good team player. I thought i could as well use this work exp to good effect for a us b-school admit considering the rich value of an us mba. Also, i wanna give a try to 2007 because i know that there is a chance of a very good admit with all other aspects of my application being quite strong. I know this will be a unique case for you to assess and tell something but i am firm i applying for fall 2007..working for top firms in india, it is very difficult to climb up the ladder, so the sooner i start my mba, the better..wats your take..by the way, you have not answered my prev questions and still asking me.. i need some advice Hjort..

I will not try to convince you to apply later >>> it is clear that you know what you want to do. I strongly support chronologically diversity at business schools so I am glad to see younger and older students are still interested in applying despite so many people trying to convince them otherwise.

Sorry about the delay-

From what I know of your application, it sounds like you are well positioned for the top few clusters of the US (and elsewhere).Accordingly, it is reasonable for NE Frontier schools to offer you merit aid as well.
