Profile Evaluation - Urgent For Round 2 Application

by kauldheeraj » Wed Oct 27, 2010 10:55 pm
Hi,
I took my GMAT last year second time after scoring 600 the first time. Here are my final stats :
GMAT : 680 (Q48,V34)
Qual : B.E.
Experience : 8+ Years in IT Delivery + Less than a year with a start-up with a very senior role (Market Research, Business Development, Technology Architect, etc.)

With my almost one year experience in a start-up, I am trying to utilize and leverage that experience by getting into the following schools which have a very well set curriculum for entrepreneurship, strategy and general management :

Sloan
Ross
Haas

I do not want to put in too many applications at this time to just bundle up my applications and throw them without much content.
Please suggest whether the decision with the mentioned score in these schools is worth taking a shot and do I stand a fair chance in competing, considering my profile has a very generic "Indian IT experience" stance in it.

Thanks in advance.

Dheeraj bhai, You'd have got a faster response if you had posted this in the Admission consultants section.

Good thought. Along with the 'not too many applications' approach, choosing the right mix of schools will also be important. The 3 that you have in the list might be on the Stretch to Ambitious side, considering your profile. You might want to add or replace one of them with a Practical school.

You've gained some good work-ex in an established big-firm setting and now you are experiencing life in the fast lane. If you can combine the two contrasting experiences in your application, that should be a good way of highlighting what you bring to the table.
