Hi Stacy/Lisa,
First of all I want to thank you for helping all the MBA aspirants. I have already learned so much from the forum.
Here is my profile to introduce myself:
Total years of full-time career experience: 7
Current industry/field of employment: Software Development
Current title, function and duties: Lead Developer. Leader of a team of 5 developers.
Advanced Degree: MS Computer Science, University of Denver, Denver, CO USA (3.87 GPA)
Undergrad Degree: BE/BS Computer Science , India (75%)
GMAT: 750 (Verbal 40, Quantitative 51, AWA 5.0)
Extra Curricular: Decent
Schools interested in: Harvard, Wharton, Chicago, London Business School, Insead for FALL 2010
Age by FALL 2010: 33
Questions:
1. Do you think the choice of schools is right?
2. Am I too old for such good universities? I have read your articles on age but they were more generic & may not apply to my case. That is why this question.
3. GPA for undergrad - I looked at services like World Evaluation Services but they seem to have a generic way of evaluating your GPA. Whereas GPA is always relative. 75% might evaluate to something around 3 GPA but it means a lot more if the topper of the class had 78% (which is true in my case).
Also how much value does my undergrad GPA holds after my Masters?
Thanks again for all your help.
