Hi Stacey,
I have just given my GMAT today. Scored 700.
My undergrad score is 9.29/10 (approx. 3.71/4).
Did undergrad in Information Systems from a reputed univ in India ( BITS -Pilani.)
Have been working in Microsoft for the past 2 years.

This is a brief overview about myself. Do you think I have a good chance of entering into a top b-school? ( Ivy -league?)

Please suggest. I am planning to start with my preparation for applications. Also, I want to know whether I have to wait to get more job experience.

Thank you!
Arpitha

Dear A,

You have the numbers (GMAT and GPA) to be competitive. However, gaining admission as an applicant from India is quite difficult, and your degree and work experience do not distinguish you from other Indian applicants. I think you need to widen your target list a little as the competition at top programs is stiff, especially for international applicants. I would also encourage you to view some earlier posts on tips for Indian applicants on distinguishing yourself.

Best of luck,
Lisa

Thank you Lisa!
Shall do that.
But, if at all I want to target only the top b-schools, will it help if I wait for a year or two, to hone my skills, adding an International work experience and other factors, which can strengthen my application?

Glad for your reply!

Dear Arpitha,

Anything you can do in the next couple of years that demonstrates career progression will strengthen your application. Likewise, any experiences (personal or professional) that are unique and interesting will help to distinguish you. Think about your interests and seek out ways to build your resume. Perhaps there are some community organizations you can take a leadership role in? Or some international experiences that might provide you interesting stories to write about? These will all go towards making you a stronger applicant.

Regards,
Lisa
