Sorry missed out on your reply as was not in office for a few days.

How were your grades as an undergrad? - 73% in all 3 years individually, which would be roughly like top 5% of the percentile - the number of people who give commerce exams in Delhi are roughly 10000 from 80 diff colleges

What do you do at the firm where you currently work? - I am an analyst helping consultants on various engagements - data collection, analysis, synthesis and stuff. However at the same time I am handling various responsibilities - coaching and mentoring of juniors, capacity management at team level, responsibilities for databases, part of beer bash team, driving knowledge within the team, part of community Initiative Group etc

Was your GMAT balanced? - No. Maths - 48 and English - I think early 30's.

I have already written my essays for CMU and Emory and have sent them to frnds for checks. Presently busy collecting recos and transcripts.

I am finally applying to the above 2, Cornell and NUS.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Cheers,
Vikash


Vikash you have a competitive profile for the bottom half of the top twenty as long as those schools are not insistent on more work experience.

Try to take some English classes to show you are working on your English.

Good luck!
