Hello Folks,

Can you please evaluate my profile based on the information provided below and suggest me the level of colleges I can safely focus on? Here's a brief about my profile:

GMAT 730 (V 43, Q 47) AWA - 4.5 (37%) -- appeared in mid 2009.
Experience: 6 years into IT sector. (with roles such as Programmer, Designer, Team Lead) + (Significant overseas exposure)

Graduation - B.E. (ECE) -> 76%, MD University, India
School - X -> 76%, X+2 -> 77% (CBSE, India)

Involved with some extra curricular and social activites since school.

Career Expectations: Career growth in my current field. i.e. IT sector

I have few questions:

1. How would my percentage at Graduation (76%) convert to the GPA? What would be my approx GPA at this %age?

2. Though I have done fairly well in my professional career and am recognized by managers and clients, I do not have any letters of promotion or "written" client appreciations to show as proof to the admissions committee. Can this pose a problem? How can I circumvent this?

3. Is the low AWA score (37%) a cause for concern? Do business schools pay significant attention to AWA as well?

4. What kind of schools should I target? Are global top-10 or top-20 a reasonable target?

I really appreciate your responses.

Thanks in advance.
