Hi I am an Indian Male 30 years old working as an IT Software Sales professional. ( Note I am not a programmer or a techie ) I have a total work experiences of 8.5 years as of now purely in Enterprise B2B Sales. I have worked with some of the largest IT organizations in the world like Hewlett Packard, SAP.
My GMAT split is 740 ( Q49 V 41 IR 6 AWA 4.5)
By qualification I am a Software Engineer, however my academic record is average> I am not sure of GPA as Bombay University would award only percentage scores.
I am looking at Top 25 colleges in US and also keeping options open for Asian Institutes like NUS, HKUST and NTU. Post MBA I would like to pursue a career in Sales Consulting or IT Marketing.
My Majore queries are around:
1- My suitability for US top 10 or 20 colleges
2- Whether my low AWA or IR could be an impediment
3- Concerns about average academics

Hi there,
Thanks for posting, and for pointing out that while your degree is in software engineering, you stand out from the crowd of Indian IT applicants in that your career has been in sales.
I'm sure you are still able to use some of your undergrad background to help the success of your career in sales!
Solid GMAT, sounds like average academics... I am not sure of a) your leadership experiences/strength, b) any extracurricular and community activities, and c) more info on accomplishments and impact, professionally and personally. But likely you'd have a solid shot outside approx the top 10 or so US. If you had your heart set on a top 10 school and wanted to give it a shot and put together amazing essays and stories etc, I would say go for it, but better chances are likely 10-25-ish (all approx, fyi). I wouldn't worry too much about the AWA and IR you've listed here at this point. Focus on what you can still change-- namely your essays, and to a lesser extent, your recommendations. Let us know how we can help, good luck!
