Please evaluate my chances

by RajanS » Fri Aug 20, 2010 10:02 am
Hello

I am in the process of applying to Harvard, Sloan, Stern and INSEAD for 2011/2012 intake. Can you please evaluate my chances to any of the above colleges based on my profile


Nationality: Indian 29yrs ( will be 30 at time of entry)
Occupation: Research Engineer in a Semiconductor company in US (Non IT)
Experience: 6yrs (at time of entry)
GMAT: 720
GPA: 3.89/4 (Graduate in US), 7/10 (Undergraduate in India)





I will get excellent recommendations from my supervisors and managers. I have co-authored several patents and have good growth in my career but I have weak and ordinary community service

Eagerly awaiting your feedback.

Thanks
Rajan S

Hi Rajan,

Thanks for your post. You've certainly compiled a solid list of schools. Given your work experience, GPA and GMAT, it is safe to say you are qualified for these programs. However, the list you've compiled contains very competitive programs and you fall into a large and very competitive applicant pool. I suggest you consider adding a couple of "safety" schools to your list. In addition, you'll want to think about how you can stand out in the applicant pool and be prepared to do so in your essays.

Best,

Stacey
