Thank you for the post. While the third round is possible, I don't recommend it. The visa issues can be a problem and most international applicants will have already filled up spots during round two. If you can't get all of your applications done in time, you can do some in round three but I recommend trying for as many as you can in round two.Pattnaik wrote:Hi,

Wharton is ambitious, though certainly doable with your profile so I would actually put it in the within reach pile along with Columbia, Booth, Sloan, Kellogg, Berkeley, Tuck. NYU and Yale would be safer for you. You have a great chance of getting into ISB, though you could do better in my opinion and INSEAD, IE and LBS are also within reach.
I recommend getting a specific strategy down since you listed schools across a wide spectrum. Would you like to talk about how I can help you with your applications as well as narrow down the list of schools? Send an email to discuss. [email protected]

Hi Pattnaik,
Your GMAT score is very good and so is the work ex. So, overall candidature is strong. That said you are very late in the application season. You have 10-20 days before jan deadlines of schools and deadlines post that are not at all recommended for Indian applicants given visa and funding challenges. B schools clearly state that Jan deadlines are mostly the last application deadlines for international applicants.
So, we would recommend considering
ISB
Duke
INSEAD can be considered for Jan 2017 intake. So, you can apply in feb end/ mar beginning.
Feel free to contact us for any queries.
