A couple of questions:

1.I got State 15th Highest Mark in my 10th Standard and 3rd Highest Mark in 11th Standard.But,my UG GPA is less.So,does my low GPA effect my chances too much?

2.I am from Indian School of Mines(ISM),Dhanbad.The only difference between ISM and IIT's is the name.All the official procedures proceed in the same way for both the colleges.So,will I get AW!! look generally got for IITians??

3.What are chances for Stanford GSB as a defered candidate??

Are my Extra-Circulars below the required level? You didn't comment on my Extra Circulars...

With a GMAT Score of 750+ and the same profile... Can I take a shot at HBS 2+2?

Thanks Jon...

Before this response of yours,I was worried that I may not stand in the race of getting into HBS...

Now...GMAT is the only thing I need to crack...
