Hello Everyone!
I am a 28 yrs old female from Delhi, India with the following profile:
Extra curricular:
Did volunteering work for the blind in Bangalore, India
Was an active member of the undergrad school's event organizing committee.
I am planning on applying to
Need to figure out a few "safe/reachable" schools. Any ideas on which could be these so called "safe" schools for my profile?
I am not so sure about my GMAT score being enough given my profile. I have been reading that since hordes of IT professionals are applying to business schools, my chances are pretty low. I do believe in my abilities and personality, but sometimes one has to be realistic.
So all advice is welcome!!! Thanks in advance for your time!
I am a 28 yrs old female from Delhi, India with the following profile:
- Applying for B-schools for fall 2012.
GMAT (92%) - 710 (Q 50 - 92%, V 38 - 83%)
Did my Computer Science Engineering from Kurukshetra University, - Not very proud of this school! Though I was a good student and scored a 76% - and am not sure how to convert this to GPA!
Have been working for the past 6 years in IT industry performing different roles. Though I have worked mainly as a programmer,I have been involved in sales and marketing. I also worked as a Business analyst - a link between the users and the development team.
Of the 6 years, i have been working in the US for the past 3 years for different projects, in different domains - from energy to utilities. Well, not that it matters, also in different cities!
I also did marketing of an online game -wotld - worldofthelivingdead. This was not a part of any job, I did this for a friend. I applied various marketing strategies to increase the number of users of the game from a few hundreds to 2000.
Extra curricular:
Did volunteering work for the blind in Bangalore, India
Was an active member of the undergrad school's event organizing committee.
I am planning on applying to

Kellogg
Texas A&M - Mays
UT at Austin - McCombs
Rice University

Hi indiegal,
While Booth and Kellogg are ambitious, TAMU, Austin, and Rice are certainly reachable with your profile. Are you looking at Indian/Asian schools as well? Among US B-schools, you can also look at Kenan Flagler, USC, and Emory as relatively safe schools which are also well ranked.
Your GMAT score is decent. While it is true that a disproportionately large number of IT professionals from India apply, it is also true that a significant number get admitted too! What you need to work on is a strong strategy to differentiate yourself from the pack - this is done through writing great essays, having good recommendations, and presenting your overall profile in a way that enables you to make the cut. Being realistic also means refusing to accept anything less than what you deserve.
Your overall academics and professional profile is good - Kurukshetra university is a well known and respected university - you should not have any overbearing concerns there. Your work experience is also rich and varied, across different roles (and locations!).
Put your best foot forward. All the best!
