Hey Crusader,
Thanks for your post.

You have great credentials and sounds like you are a good fit for the schools mentioned below. As you know, its hard to gauge your candidacy based on profile/stats, as much of the decision is based on your essays, LORs, interview. That said - here is my feedback.

Overall, you are (unfortunately) in one of the most competitive applicant pool - Indians with IT background. Therefore your biggest challange is how to best differentiate yourself. What makes you different from the thousands of Indian IT applicants that will apply to the same schools with similar stats (high GMAT, solid IT work experience).

Because of this, while you are competitive for the schools below, its hard to know the overall outcome. You might want to consider expanding your school list. I would be happy to recommend some schools if you could provide more information about your post-MBA career interests and other school-related criteria (region, program specifics, personality).

Some suggestions -

First of all - make sure you have clear post-MBA career goals. What are your short/long term career interest. How SPECIFICALLY will the school's MBA program help you achieve these goals.

Secondly, from your profile - it appears you have strong ECs and team-related interests/athletics. These will also help differentiate yourself from other Indian IT applicants - esp in your essays and interview.

Regards,

NP
