Dear gunjangc,

You have some positives in your profile, like your transcript and work experience. You also have some question marks and potential weaknesses to think about and possibly address in your future applications. For example, you do not have a GMAT score and where you score will be telling for how competitive you are at various programs. Likewise, you note a couple of extracurricular activities, but they seem to be from college; what have you done since? Business schools like to see well-rounded applicants that pursue interests outside of the office and/or work in their communities. I think you have a chance of gaining admission to a recognized business school; however, it is key that you target schools that are a good match for you and your career goals--not just a recognized name. For tips on identifying schools that might be a match, please read our sticky on school selection.

Good luck,
Lisa
