Indian Admits -Room : Keep all desi discussions here!

I have spoken to some of my friends who had applied to W/Chic in R1. They all have pretty impressive profiles- and surprisingly, most of them have been WLed at both the places. Its almost as if all schools decided to filter out the weaker candidates and evaluate the rest of the desi's together with R2. In a way, it does not seem that there is any difference to a desi whether he applied in R1 or R2.

I am just surprised to see not one Indian born desi, Indian citizen desi get admitted into Chic or W.

Good luck Mneo - I hope that you will be the first entry in the admit list ...

Cheers

mNeo, I think we should keep out Indian American etc out of this analysis. These folks fall under the US citizen pool and not under the International pool. The admit rates are definitely different.

I am very keen to see how many Indian citizens(with no GC/dual citizenship) get into the UE/elite schools. In fact, I have never seen anyone from GMAT club who meets this criterion get into a UE.

Hmm, Should have thought about this before applying to HBS and MIT.



EDIT:I see that mNeo has edited his post. Still, I will leave my response as it is for reference purposes.

Great point pc..but I was going through last years posts and I dont think there were many Desi's on this forum. Necromonger (?) was probably one of the few active members here who was desi (and he is in at INSEAD). So this year, we see a lot more desi's, so we might start the trend of getting admitted into UE/E

Just to give you an idea of the situation at my end- the company I used to work for before is a great feeder to GSB- it takes in about 5 students every year from there (and mostly desi's). I know a bunch of my friends who are applying in R2 but a couple of them applied in R1 as well. We were wondering if them getting admitted would mean lesser chances for us.

Not even one ( barring the cornell TMO ) so far

Surprised !

Yes its a bad situation as far as Indian applicants are concerned. More Indians are applying directly from India in the last few years. I know a few Indians, who converted to Singapore citizenship got admissions in UE schools. dosa and prasad, I hope Ross gives us some love.

c'mon everyone, and THIS IS GMAT-CLUB!!!

We will get our desi brothers (and sisters) into the UE/Es this year in droves!

BW posted quite a few Indian admits into Tuck.. no love for one of us though

Did anyone else flash back to 300 "This is Sparta!" with kry's post?

very astute! that was my intention

Come on schools.....get some Indians in the class. I am quite confident that the gmatclub indians will open their account with Ross in 3 weeks time.

There are indian students on the admitted students board for Kellogg...so they do exist guys. Its tough for everyone not just Indians, but it is possible.

I just got into WH. Orignally from Bombay, have been in the US for about 8 years now.

I must say, its a relief that this crazy process is finally over (I was a re-app to WH).

CONGRATS DJM!!! Woohoo!

Congrats DJM! There you go .. an admit for an Indian citizen from GMATClub.

congrats DJM -

I hope the count increases

Congratulations.. leading the way for Indian GMatclubbers
