Early Career Applicant- India

[vaibhavsingh]

I am a 21 year old student trying for early career admissions at Top 10 US Schools in 2009 fall.

Can you comment upon my chances realistically.. Also since I have 10 months before I apply for MBA are there any further options which might help my applications..

Background: I hail from the most backward districts in India, qualified for the top ranked high-school and then the best undergrad college for commerce in India. Have a good leadership, research, academic, ECA & social service record.

Doubtful about an early career admit since I have no full time work experience
