Hi
Request to please help evaluate my profile
Undergraduation - among top 3 students
Graduation - Top 20 college in india ; 1st rank in the college
Post-grad MBA from a top 10 b school in india - Allrounder award
past Work experience - Big credit rating agency in india (2 yrs)
Current work ex.- Associate at a domestic PE firm (1.5 yrs)
Pre indian MBA - Software consulting at a global IT major
GMAT - expect 700-720 (exam on 1st Nov)
Other activities - decent activities at school and college level
Currently teach CFA at a leading firm (part time)
Some charity work in the past though not very active presently
Planning to remain in the same industry but want to target international PE firms which surely need better exposure and a good international b school education in india
Want to know the following:
1. i am targetting 1 yr programs primarily like INSEAD, Columbia, LBS also targetting top 2 yr b schools (wharton, tuck). How do i stand vis-a-vis profile of the students admitted here
2. INSEAD - should i target upcoming sep R2 or r1 of jan (essays have just been through my initial draft so i guess needs lot of time though have 1 month from GMAT to R2 deadline)
3 which other programs / schools do u suggest considering my my profile and my intent to grow in the same industry
Appreciate any help in this regard !!! Quite confused about the same !!!

Rohit,
Thanks for the post. To answer your questions:
1. You certainly have a chance at these programs, but there are not safeties there.
2. the advantage of the January start date is that it enables an internship. If that's important to you, apply R1 for the Jan intake. If that isn't important to you, then apply R2 for the Sept intake. You should have enough time between Nov. 1 and Dec. 5 to develop a good application.
3. I think you should add Chicago to your list.
Best,
Linda

Hi Linda
So then i took Gmat today. Was hoping for a better score, but alas, turned out to be much lower than expected.
My score is 680 (quant 90 percentile and verbal 67 percentile). I was planning to apply to the following b schools and now i am wary of applying as i think my score is less than the average accepted. Needed your help whether i should apply with current score at the following colleges or appear for GMAT again ?
Schools : INSEAD, Booth, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia, LBS, Tuck
