Hi guys,
Here are the details :
GMAT - 690 and yet another 690
WE: 5.5 years consulting in telecom- IT and Strategy for a major IT consulting firm.
WE2: Switching jobs ( starting a new one this month) to Supply Chain optimization in the wireless industry- based out of chicago.
GPA - HORROR 2.48
Major - Industrial and Systems Engineering/ Minor in Business
UG school : Virginia Tech
Alternate transcript : took 2 courses - UCLA extension - got an A+ and B+ in Math for Management and Bus Stats resp. amounting to a cum gpa of 3.65.
ECs:
1) One of the founding fathers of a multi cultural fraternity chapter at Virginia Tech.
2) Co founder/ Owner of a digital record label - ( LLC)
3) Music producer with tracks recently charted on German Radio Stations etc..
4) Coed- soccer league captain .
Nationality - Yes - this works against me - one of the 100 Billion Indians.
So I applied to Kellogg, UVA, Duke in R1 in 2012 - dinged from all.
Now with the recent developments in my life - a new job- etc.. I will probably consider looking into the weekend part time programs in chicago - namely booth and kellogg.
Given the information you have read above - What should I do? Retake the GMAT - break the 710 barrier + take 2 more courses and ace them - save victims of a hurricane- make friends with Bill Clinton - Walk the circumference of EARTH- be the first man on mars?
CHEERS!

Two things ae key here
1. GMAT - your GMAT has to be EVEN better than usual.. You have a 2.58 to make up for and they just have too many indian candidates with a 3.0 or higher and 720 or higher...
2. Stand out professionally.. I won't know exactly how you would do this until we chat... but basically, you have to show that you are NOT "just another indian", but that you are "the BEST indian"
.... this is terms first and foremost of your work experience... and then of everything else...

Being the first man on Mars would probably get you in - or then you could probably bypass b-school altogether! From what I understand the EMBA programs are not as competitive, but they will really look at work experience more than items like GPA, so that's good for you.
Thanks for the replies so far .
I got into the CC Duke Emba program but withdrew my application as I need to give the part time programs a chance - got promoted once in 5 months and intend to make it twice in 10 months in my new job.
I just cannot get myself to take the gmat again....
