Stacy,

First of all thank you for valuable inputs on the countless posts. Its amazing that how much one can learn from just reading your old posts.

Here we go:

GMAT1: 620(Q:48 and V: 28)
GMAT2: 700(Q:48 and V: 28)

Education:
Undergrad GPA : 7.2/10 ( Computer Science from India)
M.S (computer Science) (top 50-60 school USA) GPA : 4.0/4.0, member of Tau Beta Pie Honor society

Work Ex (all in US)

Software Engg in a Startup - 1 Year
Engineer @ Top Health Care Research Firm - 3 years

Recommendations:

1 from my manager for last 1 year
1 from another manager of a product with whom I have worked closely.


I want to focus on Entrepreneurship and product management, short term goal immediately post MBA is to work in a startup firm as product or project manager and fine tune my skills in regards to both. (product/project management). My long term goal is to start my company in data analysis.

Outside Work

-For past three months outside work I have been working with a charter school as project manager, leading a team of 5
people from my company in streamlining schools operations.

-I am also running a small astrology business (thru website) with my parents on the side, my mom is a research scholar in Astrology. The reason for this was two fold one to revive the dying science of astrology and second to generate funds and data for her research. I developed website, marketing strategy and data analysis strategy for her business.

-I am also planning to join a dog rescue group, this is solely due to personal experience of having a dog.


Schools:

UCB, HAAS
UCLA,Anderson
IU,Kelley
Oxford,Said
USC,Marshal

Questions:

Do you think I have shot at these schools?

Do I need to add any more schools or take some schools off from the list?

Dear indiantiger,

Depending on how good of a writer you are, how well you do in your interviews, and what your recommenders say about you, I think you have a shot at your target schools with the profile you posted. However, I do think you have a list of 5 fairly selective schools with no true safety option. I don't know that you need to add or subtract schools--that depends on how many applications you want to write--but I do think you should identify and consider applying to a safety option as a backup plan if your end goal is to be in business school next fall. The essays, recommendations, and interviews will play a critical role in your decisions, so use those components to make your case for a seat and stand out from the competition.

Good luck,
Lisa

What safety schools would you suggest based on my profile?

Generally speaking, safety schools are those where your profile is above average for the school and where the school is a good match in terms of curriculum and resources. For you, these are probably schools with GMAT averages at or below a 660 with strong entrepreneurship programs.
