Hi Sandeep,

You have an interesting profile. Your stats are great and you have a significant amount of work experience. Your experience in Russia and the Czech Republic will help distinguish you from the many high-scoring IT applicants from India.

The schools on your list are very selective. No one is guaranteed acceptance at schools of that quality. You will need to show two things: first, that your experience somehow differentiates you from the thousands of applicants with similar backgrounds; second, that your background includes significant responsibility for the work of others. The perception is that many technical people are sole producers rather than manager.

Kaplan offers admissions consulting services starting as low as $729 ($599 for former Kaplan students). Our website includes brief bios of the consultants so that you can request one that meets your needs.
