Sudhir,

Oh, yes, you definitely won't be placed into the "Male Indian IT" category. Your profile looks impressive to me. I wouldn't discourage from applying to any of those schools and think you have a decent chance at Wharton, GSB Chicago, Columbia, and LBS and a better than decent chance at NYU Stern, UMich Ross, Yale, Cornell, and Darden. The only other strong finance schools I would mention would be MIT Sloan and Berkeley Haas, where you also should have a decent chance.

Good luck,

Thanks a lot paul for your encouraging reply .

Is there any area of my profile which u think is weak and i need to work on .. i know i have very little time but anything which u see as a weakness.

I have been seeing your replies to all the posts and also from my reseach of the schools i know Harvard and stanford are probably the toughest to crack and for most you recommend to stay out of it ..I know for most H/S are longshots..or probably very longshots.. but do u think i should go ahead and apply to these .. though may be longshot .. but do i stand any chance or u think i shud avoid them. i dont want to be unrealistic here .. as it envolves lot of effort and probably i can use that effort in aceing up my application at a school where i stand a chance ..

One last thing .. if i have to choose only 6 schools out of the list .. i want to give my best application to the schools to decided it shudnt be more than 6., what shud be those 6 schools

thanks once again for all ur time and patience !!!!!really Appreciated..

Sudhir,

Well, HBS and Stanford would be the two toughest schools to get into of the ones you mentioned, but as I mentioned, I don't think your chances at either would be remote. But if I had to pick the 6 schools where your odds of admission are *greatest* I would choose: NYU, Michigan, Yale, Cornell, Darden, and GSB Chicago of the schools you named.

Hope this helps,

Hi Paul..

Thanks a lot for the reply .. as usual really helpful....

In one of my chats with a friend of mine , he ws of the opinion that columbia admit rates fall very steeply after early decision round and cornell acceptance rate is very low for international ( around 17%) . I wanted to know how far is it justified for me, if its true, to apply there.. and whats ur opinion of London Business school( that friend of mine is joinin LBS) having seen my profile ( it has only 350 odd seats:( )

thanks a ton

Sudhir,

All three schools will be tough to get into this year even for very qualified folks. So figure out how many schools you can or want to apply to this year and make sure you've got a mix of "reach" schools, competitive schools, and "safeties."

Good luck,
