The Unique Challenges of the Indian IT Applicant

by Jon@Admissionado » Fri Sep 28, 2012 12:00 pm
Every Indian applicant has heard it before: "You're coming from the most competitive applicant pool! It's going to be tough for you."
[Read more on that here: https://admissionado.com/mba/resources/f ... p-it-up-2/]

But... uh, why? And what does that mean for you and your applications? How do you rise above the rest of those applicants? Well, first things first, you gotta know what you're up against, and then you gotta know how to overcome those challenges.

And I'm going to cover both of those things in a one-hour class on October 7th at 8pm IST.

From GMAT scores to international experience, you'll get a greater understanding of how to build a strong application that will stand out for the adcom.

Hi Jon,
Do the schools maintain application pools wrt countries or professional background ?
would an Indian from a Business studies,accounting and economics background have to face-off with the IT guys?
As my work exp is with a development finance institution I hope i wont be a part of "the toughest application pool" :)
regards,
neeraj

Good question. It's a little bit trickier than that. The schools don;t actually go and make piles of "Indian folks" and then divvy it up by industry... so you have a huge stack of Indian IT apps, and then they say "okay, we'll take only two from here, and three from here!" !!!!!

The process is a bit more organic than that. Meaning that they WILL be looking for diversity in both nationality AND industry, and the more people that are similar to you, the more competitive the places are because the Adcom folks are aware of who they chose and how much, so it might be like "Well, we have this really strong Indian guy who works for Microsoft. What about this Brazilian girl, who works in an NGO... she has not such a great GMAT, but it would be a great mix for...." etc. etc.

So, again, usually there's no "hard and fast rules" and things shift based on circumstance - what they get from who and how many... but in general it's a bit like that... :)
