Yogesh,

Your 710 GMAT, long stint in Sweden, and Tata experience will all help you stand out. Be sure you write a good, non-superficial essay about the cross-cultural experience of living in Sweden. I do not think you are aiming too high with the schools you listed. Your odds at Mays, Fisher, Queen's, ISB, and NUS are good. Your odds at Oxford, CMU, Duke, and Darden are decent. This is a good, shrewd mix of schools to target. As for other European schools to target, the following all place high percentages of grads in consulting: Rotterdam, INSEAD, and IESE. You could consider INSEAD one of your long-shot schools.

You may want to read Accepted.com's advice for Indian applicants.

Good luck,

yogeshsheth,

Did you mean to type INSEAD? I don't have hard data on that, but that's a fair question to ask them directly about. Also check their website for a Employment Report that may break the placement data down by nationality. Last year, they placed 21% of their MBAs in Asia, which indicates they have success outside of the French/European market. INSEAD is such a strong name that I would be surprised if it didn't benefit all their MBAs, including the non-French-speakers.

Hi Paul,

Wanted your opinion on whether the Indian IT demographic would hurt me as a candidate ? What should I do to minimise the damage?

After investigating a bit more I have prepared a short-list of schools that I will be applying to
Here's the list

Fuqua School of Business Duke University
Darden Virginia Unviversity
Tepper CMU
Goizeuta Business School Emroy University
McCombs University of Texas--Austin
Chapel Hill University of North Carolina
Krannert Business School Purdue University
Fisher Ohio State University
McDonough Business School GeorgeTown
Geogia Tech

Will probably cut down this list to about 8. What do you feel about my chances at these schools.

Thanks for your precious time.

Cheers
Yogesh

Yogesh,

B-schools don't want to have an entering class of all IT Indian males, so given that so many IT Indian males apply, you have to work harder to make yourself stand out and be the IT Indian male they let in. You do this by accentuating what's distinctive about you -- see my first reply to you.

I think your odds are decent to good at all these schools. Decent at Fuqua, Darden, Tepper, Texas, and UNC (I could see 2-3 admitting you if you execute well in your app); and good at Emory, Purdue, Ohio State, Georgetown, and Georgia Tech.

Good luck,
