25 year old female, Indian, married
I recently took Toefl and GMAT on a very short notice.
GMAT: 760 [Q50, V42, IR 8] I haven't yet received the AWA score.
TOEFL: 115 [R-30, L-29, S-27, W-29]
I hold a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronics & Communications Engineering from Vasavi College of Engineering, Osmania University. My college is ranked somewhere around 70 in India so I guess that can be a disadvantage. The scoring is on a percentage basis and my aggregate is 79.54%. As per WES evaluation my GPA is 3.82. I was very active in college events and coordinated our technical fest in the third and fourth years. I also took an interest in presenting papers in various technical symposiums.
I worked with Infosys, an India based Software company, as a Systems Engineer for two years. At Infosys, I worked on Finacle, a banking product (I plan to indicate this as the origin in my interest in Finance). Later, I joined State Bank of India, the largest public sector bank in India. My current role is Assistant Manager and I have been in this role for over 14 months now.
While at Infosys, I taught school children as part of a CSR initiative. I was part of a club called Voice Of Youth where I wrote articles for a magazine, did some of the editing work, designed and organised a safety campaign, organised many recreational activities for employees.
I plan to attend B School this fall and I know the deadlines are approaching pretty quick. I'm running out of time and would really appreciate some advice on which colleges I can apply to. How fair are my chances of getting into a top 10 B School? Which colleges would you suggest for someone with this profile?

Hey there!
So first things first - congrats on that totally awesome GMAT!! wow! That is high
Second, forget about applying this year because 1. that boat has sailed 2. you lack the necessary work experience anyhow.
But DO start preparing for next year!
Can you make top 10? As a female with an amazing GMAT, you should for sure try, although I would definitely say you should add 2 schools from the 10-20 range to your list. Other than that you should be thinking now about what you can do to a) improve your profile until next year b) get in contact with students and alumni from the schools you are interested in and c) visit the schools, if possible.
Best,
Jon

Hey Jon,
What do you think the ideal work experience would be? I already have 38 months work experience as of today. I'm aware that it is almost impossible to apply to R2 of B Schools now but I thought I might give it a try. The deadlines are due in less than a week. I know I sound almost ridiculous but I am almost done working on my essays, recommendations and stuff, and I have a feeling I'll be wasting an year if I don't apply now.
Will applying this year hamper my chances next year? I mean do re applicants have lesser chances than applicants?
Also, what do you suggest I do in order to improve my profile?
Regards,
Swetha
