Paul,
Thanks for writing a great book. It provides great insight into the admission process and contains a lot of thoughtful, practice advice for the applicants. I’ve read it once and intend to do it again over the summer as I write my essays.

Sanjay,
Glad you liked the book. If you feel like posting a positive sentence or two about it on Amazon.com I'd be eternally in your debt.
You have a strong profile albeit with three weaknesses: age, non-tremendous extracurriculars, and the 'Male-Indian-IT' box (though you are certainly on the non-traditional end of that demographic!). I think you could apply at a mix of full-time, part-time, and executive programs. Because your odds will be toughest in the full-time programs you could only apply to schools where your profile is truly competitive or better, reserving your long-shot efforts for part-time and E-MBA programs. Neither Stanford's nor CBS's full-time programs are realistic IMO. Definitely give Wharton's EMBA and NYU's part-time programs a shot, though for the former your odds will be lowered if you aren't currently managing a fairly substantial team or organization. There is nothing that really compensates for lack of leadership outside of work, unless it's a lot of leadership in your work. Given your entrepreneurial goals you could target USC, Babson, and UNC full-time and UCLA part-time for starters.
Good luck,

Paul,
Thanks for your advice. I'll definitely post a book review at amazon.com.
I've been in leadership roles throughout my career. In early years of my career, I led the software development and system engineering teams of anywhere from 5 to 10 members. While supporting sales teams for Latin American markets, on my own initiative, I brought several companies together to jointly develop a $300m proposal to bid for telecom systems. Later at a start-up, I was instrumental in developing the firm's core strategy and hiring key individuals, building service delivery platform, and providing pre-sales and post-sales efforts. I worked as a managing consultant / practice leader for a small, boutique firm. Currently, I'm employed as a program / project manager at a financial institution - I typically manage project teams of anywhere from 10 to 50 individuals.
I hope that my work experience will compensate for lack of leadership outside the work.
Thanks again!
