Age: 26 (Indian Software Engineer)
GPA: not calculated by the university. First Class (69%, highest in the class being 78)
Work Experience: 5.5 years in Software (Started as a designer/developer, working on 10 implementations across continents before opting to switch over to application support for more customer interaction, team management and better learning opportunities, since the goal has always been an ivy league MBA. Leading small sized teams for last 2.5 years, established offshore teams for Big-3 telecom giants in North America.)
GMAT (2008 score that was wrapped up within a week's time): 730 (Q51, V38)
Target: H/S/W/Chicago primarily
Career Goal : Strategic Consulting or a Rotational Programme (High Tech) at Google, Microsoft and the likes.
Extra Curriculars: Apart from all over the place co curriculars during undergrad, formed an online forum and multiple sports groups at work. Involved with organizational CSR.
The Problem?
Have been procrastinating a lot when it comes to submitting the apps. Submitted a hasty app to Chicago Booth in R2 and now wondering if I should go ahead with UCLA as well (am done with the essays and UCLA seems to be on the way up since it's curriculum revamp).
Do you think it is wise to wait for 2013 intake and submit an impressive R1 app to at least have the satisfaction of giving it my best shot, or should I go ahead and get the most out of this intake?
By 2013 matriculation, I will be turning 28 so will this be detrimental to my aspirations of getting into consulting?
