Kelley
Cox
Ohio
ISB
Smeal
Krannert
Maryland etc



Also, are schools in the range of krannert and Maryland good to join ??

Hey dude,
Good to hear from you! So first of all I wouldn't exactly call a 710 "low", even if it may be too low for Top 10 programs :)

Overall your profile seems good, and the school list you propose entire reasonable. Actually I would say you can even add 1-2 "dream schools" to your list (say from the 10-20 rankings.

Both Krannert and Maryland are very good schools, even if not Top tier.

Best,
JF



Thanks for the motivating words JF !!

I will surely work hard to get it right with my essays. However , my concern is the AWA and IR score which I don't know what in the world caused me to mess up.
My first attempt was 660 with IR 5 and AWA 4 . Actually, I am pretty good with essays and data interpretation .I can improve but I don't want to precious waste time
which I could use to improve my essays. Request to share your generous opinion.


Dear Joy,
Well two thoughts. First neither the AWA nor the IR are that important for your application. Secondly, actually your scores are not "bad", they're just not fantastic... so I'd say just go with it!

Best,
JF
