Hi,

I am trying to gauge whether I will be competitive at Kellogg, Columbia, Wharton, Booth, Harvard and Stanford. Here are my stats:

GMAT: 730 (Q-49, V-41)
School: University of Waterloo
Degree: Bachelors in Applied Sciences, Honours in Computer Engineering
GPA: 78% / B+ (I did 10% better than the average in my final year. Unfortunately, I have no sense on how to convert this to a GPA on a four point scale)

Work Experience: 3 years at Deloitte Consulting New York

Volunteer Activities: - Helped design software product for technology start-up (6 months) & Board member for local not-for-profit.

Dear vviswan,

Based on the minimal information in your post, it appears you have the foundation for a competitive application to the top 6 programs. Decisions will be made on the quality of your overall package, so you will want to ensure each piece is strong and sets you apart from other applicants. I also encourage you to consider some less selective programs to add to your mix to increase your chances of being in business school. While I think you could be admitted to at least 1 of your 6 with a stellar application, there are no guarantees in MBA admissions.

Good luck,
Lisa
