Dear hemant.bedi,

I agree with your assessment on your profile and think you are competitive for your target schools. What will make the difference in your applications is how well you present your background and experiences, your rationale for an MBA, and your fit wit the school. It is imperative you find a way to distinguish yourself from the large number of applicants with a similar profile, so be sure to put the effort into those essays and do well in your interviews.

Best of luck,
Lisa
