Hi Stacy,
I had taken the GMAT on the 4th of October 2008 and achieved a score of 770(51 Quant and 45 Verbal; 5.5 AWA) and I owe this wonderful forum a lot for helping me during prep.
As for my profile:
23 year old Indian Mechanical Engineer. Graduated from a reputed college with decent academics(75 %age).
I have been an active sportsperson both in School and college, was also a part of various sports teams. I've also been active in many other extra curricular activities like short film making.
As for my work ex, I worked for 1.5 years in a reputed Indian auto firm(the one that recently bought out Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford). I did some quality work here and my bosses are more than willing to endorse the same.
About a year ago, I moved into my dad's business which is a channel sales agency for imported products. I did reasonably well here and might just manage a good reco from one of my clients.
I initially thought of applying for fall 2010 but I now feel that I might as well go for fall 2009 considering my good GMAT score.
Do you think a 2.5 year work ex combined with other parts of my profile is enough for a successful R2 app to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton and Chicago? would you advice me to go for a super quick apping process( I have only about 2 months before R2 deadlines) and go for the best schools?

Do your work. Don't be stupid.
