Hi All,

Count me in for R2.

Indian/ 740/ 4 year total ex; 1yr family business+ 3 years techonology consulting.

Good extracurriculars, low GPA.

What are my chances?

Crunched some numbers... I may be off in my assumptions, but using the data from:
https://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/full_time_mba_profiles/texasam.html

Now I am far from a math genius by any stretch, but I though this was an interesting rough insight. Now I'm aware I had to make a couple assumptions, but I think this is a good ballpark estimate. Feel free to poke holes in my math
