1. GMAT is good.
2. SAFE: Foster, McCombs
Target Schools: Haas, Anderson, Ross, Tepper
Ambitious: Kellogg, Tuck, Sloan
3. Go for R1. Start working on the applications.
4. Your work experience is good and shows incremental growth in responsibilities and aspirations. Entrepreneurship experience will clinch the deal.
5. However, Essays are the Achilles Heal for most Indian IT applicants, as this is single largest cohort at any B-School. Unless you differentiate yourself in a very articulate format, the work ex and GMAT will get drowned out in the monotonous Indian IT drone.
