I think you definitley have a shot at your target schools. Good core profile and what will really set you apart will be the unique things you offer such as Indian engineer with bonafide international experience outside India, knowing multiple languages (besides hindi and English) and extracurriculars which are unique and memorable. It's the unusual things that get remembered, and since you come from an overpopulated applicant pool, you will need such intracasies in your application. We would love to help your focus your story and optimize your application, so please let us know if we can help.

Hi Bryant,
Thank you for your feedback.
I just wanted to know how important it is to visit the schools. I am in London now. With some effort, I can go to the schools and visit them. Would it help my case considering that I have traveled from London to the US just to visit the school? Will the schools appreciate it more?
Regards
TheRedDevil
