Hey guys!!!!
Its nice to be back to gmc atfer a short break.....I guess I'm done for this year. I got dinged by 5 schools
....almost from all the schools I would want to go.....heres how it went....
Wrote GMAT July 2010 - 690 (Q48 V35 AWA - 5.0) - Bombed....but still decent I guess
Wrote Toefl Oct '10 - 109 - Decent
Target Schools -
1. UT Austin McCombs school - Dinged without interview
2. Teaxas A&M - Dinged (after first round of informal interview)
3. University of Maryland Smith School - Dinged w interview
4. U. of Minnesota Carlson School - Dinged w interview
5. Indian school of business (ISB Hyderabad) - Dinged w/o interview
6. Canada york Schulich - Awaited
Profile - 2.6 years of I.T. experience at the time of applying. Decent extra curriculars. And as far as I know a decent application package as well.
-I belong to the Indian IT pool.
-Undergrad percentage (65%)
-Career switcher from a sftw development profile to a Hi-Tech marketing profile.
So was it...the wrong choice of schools....or a weak profile....or something else....How can I imporve my chances for reapplying later sometimes?
Regards

Sorry about your tough year, papillon86. While you wait for more capable members to offer their advice, allow me to offer my initial thoughts.
Your GMAT is very good! Perhaps the score differential between the verbal and quant is not ideally balanced, but a 690 is nothing to feel bad about at all. But what is your background, exactly? If you're an Indian with an IT background, then you have some tough competition - wherever you apply. There are so, so many MBA students with this background. The selection process will be tougher on that group, as schools want a balanced student body.
Another issue might be your work experience. Less than three years might not be enough. The only way to fix that is to simply wait.

Thanks for the feedback...I guess you are right.
But to support my question, here is a vital piece of Info I missed.
I belong to the Indian IT pool, as you right pointed out. Undergrad percentage (65%), Career switcher from a sftw development profile to a Hi-Tech marketing profile.
Do you think I should try and improve my scores further or just wait and gather more work ex including some international exposure. Is it worth the effort?
