Hello,
I took the GMAT today and would love to get some feedback on my profile and how well (or not) I am placed for the colleges I have shortlisted. I am a working professional and only looking for part time programs.
Below is a brief snapshot of my profile:
Ethnicity/Location - 29 years old Indian male, have been working in US for over 5 years.
GMAT - 730 (Q49,V40), IR - 7, No AWA score yet as I took the exam today, shouldn't be outrageous.
Academics - B.Tech (Electronics & Comm) from a non IIT/NIT college in India with 71% marks.
Work Experience - I have a total 7.5 years work experience primarily in IT consulting. I am currently working as a Solution Architect for an IT consulting (non Big-4) company. I am primarily involved in Business Intelligence strategy and implementation work. I have worked for multiple clients from multiple domains (Retail, Healthcare, Oil & Gas etc.). I have managed teams (onsite/offshore), delivery and also have been heavily involved in pre-sales and sales cycles.
I have always been a top performer in the organizations I have worked for. I have received multiple awards for performance and have been promoted very frequently. Also, I am currently one of the highest paid in my peer group (compared to friends working for Big-4 IT consulting firms). I am well placed to gain another promotion next year and bump my salary by another 10-15%. I am mentioning the salary part to lead to my question, whether the fact that I can fully financed my degree has any bearing on my application.
Extra Curricular - This is the weakest part of my application as I have got not much to show for it. I was involved in some of the administration and committees when I was in college, but it has never been my primary focus. I would like to know how much negative impact this will have on my application.
Target Schools - Haas, Mccombs, Booth, Kellogg and Foster (TMMBA). I can consider some other schools as well if I can't get into these, but Foster and Mccombs are my safe schools (I could be wrong about that).
So, based on above, I would love some feedback on 1) when should I start applying? and 2) What are my chances for the schools mentioned above?.
Thanks in advance

Hey there dude,
Nice pull on the GMAT there! It helps a lot especially for your profile and for the programs you are applying to. Although you may be lacking on the extras, being one of the highest paid amongst your peers (one assumes there is a reason for this
) is definitely a BIG advantage. That plus strong GMAT might help people ignore that you got so-so grades from a non IIT. For part-time programs this should be enough, and I'm glad you chose a reasonable range of schools, and if you apply to all the schools on your list it is reasonable for you to hope to get accepted somewhere. As to when to apply - You are probably working very hard... think you can make all these deadlines for R2? I mean if you are ready to go, there's no advantage to waiting!
What do you think?

Thanks Jon.
I am planning for R2 for these schools. Should I be considering any other program?
