profile evaluation please

Dear amit_k4,

Admission decisions are made on more than the limited information provided in your post; thus it is difficult to comment on your chances. Generally speaking, you are in a competitive range with your GPA and have enough professional experience. Admissions committees will also be evaluating you on what you have done in your career, your rationale for an MBA, if the school is a good match for you, and how realistic your career goals are relative to your current experience. Likewise, you will need to distinguish your application from the many similar applicants by presenting a well-rounded view of who you are, not just your academic and professional accomplishments. Consequently, your essays, resume, recommendations and (hopefully) interviews are crucial parts of the decision process and must strengthen your application packages. In terms of schools where your chances of admission are higher, you will want to target programs that both meet your needs in terms of curriculum and resources relative to your career goals and where your profile is above average compared to its class profile.

With regard to scholarships, similar to admission where you should never expect to get in, you should never expect an award from any school. For your best chance at an award, you should apply to schools where you are viewed as an above average applicant overall. The schools you have noted in your post are selective with large applicant pools, so the probability of an award is low.

Good luck,
Lisa
