I am from India.
GMAT score- 760(Q:49, V:44, overall 99 percentile).
Academics : I.T. Engineer from India GPA 3.9
Work Ex: Close to 4 years full time (software engineer) with 1+ year part time (teaching) work. I also got client appreciation and early promotion in work due to my exceptional performance.

1. Volunteering with Hands on Bay Area and have also Lead 2 projects.
2. Led and helped organizing Leadership workshops based on Seven Habits of Highly Effective people.
2. Taught Mathematics to orphans in India.
3. Provided emotional support to inmates of old age homes during college days.
4. Provided some financial help to orphanage.
5. Organized and led a number of religious events with a team of 20 volunteers at Temples since the time I was in junior college.
not so positive:
I got married and came to USA in May 2008 and since then I am not working, earlier due to visa issues, and now due to recession. However, I have used this time to build a solid foundation for my newly formed family and to expand my vision by making use of the abundant information on internet, preparing for GMAT .
For Full time MBA program following are my target schools:
1. Stanford GSB
2. Haas Berkley
3. UCLA Anderson
4. UC Irvine
5. UC Davis
I have the following questions:
1. Which schools do you think will give me admit? What are my odds?
2. Do you see any particular weakness in my profile? If yes, any suggestions for improvement?
3. What are the strengths and weeknesses of my profile?
4. I just gave GMAT 2 days back, and I am a bit anxious as the first deadline for Stanford is Oct 7th. Could you suggest how should I divide this 5 weeks of time to write my application for Stanford and even partial applications for UCLA and HAAS ?
Thanks,
Shipra
