Dear maverick27,

You will still be considered in the subset of applicants from India, but I do think your work experience will help you to stand out a little from the pack. You have a competitive profile, but I would suggest broadening your school list outside the global top 10. I think you have a shot at many schools and think you should apply to those that are a good match, but it is always a good idea to apply to at least one schools as a backup plan. Regardless of where you apply, what makes the difference for any applicant is how well you put your application together. It is imperative you present a strong rationale for why you want a MBA, how it fits into your overall career plan, and why the school you are applying to is a good match for you. Likewise, you must distinguish yourself from the competition and demonstrate successful leadership experiences/evidence of leadership potential.

Good luck,
Lisa
