Hello,
I am an Indian, from the IT field (Yeah,I know you hear that a lot!).
There is one plus though, I from one of the most well known companies in the world. Hint: Its german, and makes business software.
I have a 680 in the GMAT. Taking it up again, in a week.
It'll be around the end of novemeber, by the time I finish my GMAT (second attempt) and TOEFL.
I have 18 months of work experience as of today. I have excellent undergraduate scores (all above 90, and school scores above 90 as well) , and good extra curriculars.
My question is this: Is it worth it, to apply to schools, like say, Fisher, Wisconsin, Foster, Tulane, Rutgers, before the second deadline, in which case, I will have to apply in great hurry and put in a great amount of effort.
I am ready to do all the work, if, IF, the experts here think that I have a chance to make it to one or more of these schools.
If you think I do not have a shot at these schools right now, I would rather apply next year, with a little more work experience, and by then, is it possible that I think about schools like: Darden/ Kenan Flagler/ Notre dame? Or should I just stick to the initial set of schools or are even those schools not in the safe zone?
I know the question is long, but it covers a lot of points I believe, and I am sure it will help a lot of people.
Looking forward to your replies.
Regards
