Dear ksharma1,

While you have some competitive aspects for your target schools, you have selected the most competitive schools for your list. Your GMAT is slightly below average, but certainly within range. However, your profile is over-represented at these schools and as such, a higher GMAT score would strengthen your profile relative to the applicant pool for those schools. You have some quality work experience and leadership in your extracurricular activities, so that will be beneficial for you.

Best of luck,
Lisa
