Hi Hjort,
I am a 26 year old Indian male
GMAT -

Work experience -
4 yrs IT in BFS (developer > analyst > Project Lead (India/Australia) > Leader for centre of excellence)
Education -
Bach. of Engg. in National Inst. of Technology, Nagpur, India
Extracurriculars -
Photography (featured photographer on a commercial photography site)
Trekking
Assisted in setting up local sub-chapter for a SPIC-MACAY (a national organization to promote Indian Classical Music)

Target schools -
Tuck (Stretch School), SBS, ISB. Thinking of applying to 3 more (INSEAD, and researching the others)...
Questions -
1. I've been told I should be applying to the ultra-elites, can you let me know my chances here? I'm also thinking about dropping off Tuck and targetting Tepper/Purdue instead.
2. How much importance should I give course fees while shortlisting?
3. Is it a good idea to contact college faculty directly? Does it help? Especially because I will not be able to make campus visits.
4. How much scholarship should I realistically budget for?
5. Do you still review essays? If so, please let me know if you can take some time out to go through mine.
Thanks & Regards,
Paddy
