Hi Stacy,
Please help me evaluate my profile. I am from an oversubscribed group and need to understand my chances of getting into top 15 schools for Fall 2008. I am looking at part time programs. Also, if you could tell me if my current location matters for admission to part time programs. I am in California and open to applying all over US and relocate later. My profile is as follows :
Target Schools :
- 1st Preference : UCLA, Berkeley, NYU, Chicago
- 2nd Preference : Smith (Maryland), USC,
Personal Details:
- Country of Birth : India
- Age : 32 years
Education:
- Bachelor of Engineering, 1997, GPA 3.4
- MS in Engineering, Rutgers University, 2000, GPA 3.3
GMAT: 700 (Q49, V 35 ) (AWA - 5.5)
Work experience:
- Total work experience ~ 8 yrs
- 1 yr in India as Customer Service Engineer (1997 - 1998)
- 6 yrs in fortune 100 company as Software Engineer. Promoted to Sr. Software Engineer in 1 yr. Overall flat organization structure. So not many promotions. But salary rise was faster than average. (2000-2006)
- Last year, working for a start-up with lot more responsibilities but still the same title. (2006 - present)
Extracurricular Activities:
- National Level Gold medalist in Shooting. Received a lot of medals in various competition over a span of few years. But couldn't continue after moving to US in 1998.

Thank you for your help.
