Hi Suryav,

You have a decent profile. Your work experience and GMAT Score is really good to get you admitted in B-Schools you have mentioned above. Since your GMAT Score is really good, I would suggest you to target high ranked B-Schools which are good into consulting like Columbia University, MIT Sloan, University of Chicago Booth, Kellogg, Yale University, Duke Fuqua and Michigan Ross etc.

You may also gauge your chances of getting admission to top business school by trying this amazing tool  https://bit.ly/1C9o2Md

You can also get your free profile evaluation done by the top Ivy league B-School grads during the webinar conducted by General Education on 22nd of March'15. For registration and more details visit our website  https://www.genedmba.com/webinars-seminars/
 
Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Hi there,

Thanks for sharing your background. I like the way you’re approaching your application by breaking down your target schools by risk. This is something we’ve done many times for our clients. To do this right, we really like to get a closer look at our clients’ background so that we can truly understand their goals and align them properly to their target schools. Unfortunately, forums don’t really lend themselves to that.

However, based on what you’ve shared, I can say that your GMAT is on the high end of the schools you listed. Pending your GPA, you could be a good fit, but as I’m sure you’re aware, there is A LOT more that goes into your candidacy than your academic profile.

Hope this helped!
