Hi Stacy,

I'm an international student from India who is applying to an MBA school. I'm interested in Consulting/ Entreprenuership. My GMAT score is 620 (76%). I scaled 35 (76%) on verbal and 39 (58%) on Quant. I got my BSBA (Majored in Information Systems) from the University of Arkansas in FYT. MY UG GPA is 3.02. I started out with a high GPA and the GPA took a beating when i was doing an intership in my last 2 years of schooling. Also i compelted my degree in 2 1/2 years. I have been working in JB Hunt Transport for last 4 years at their IT department. I have been promoted once. I was a Orientationa leader/ mentor during my college year. I don't have any other univsersity level awrds.

I have already applied to Washington University in St Louis and Babson College in Boston. I'm in the process of applying to Rice university.

I'm planning on applying to 4 other unveristies. The trouble i face is that i will be applying to round 3 of their applications. Does this dimish my chances of acceptance?

I like the following schools and want to pick 4 from them.

Vanderbilt Univeristy (R3)
Texas A&M University, College Station (R3)
University of Maryland, Cllege Park (R4)
Boston College (R3)
Souther Methodist University (R2)
Indiana Univeristy, Bloomington (R3)
University of Rochestor (R3)
Michigan State (R3)

I want to pick 4 other Universities. I want to make sure i have a goox chance of getting into them before i apply. I atteneded an interview in Washington Univeristy and it went very well. I addressed my GPA problem with them then. I also plan on attending interview in all the universities that i apply.

Please let me know what you think my best options.

Thank you so much for hellping me and toerh graduate students.

Thanks,

Final rounds are notoriously difficult, but they certainly do admit some % of their class. You have a nice range of schools listed here but it is difficult for me to say which ones will be the best bets for you in terms of "chance of being admitted". I suggest you rank which schools you would most like to attend in terms of which ones are the best fit for your objectives. Next you should call the schools and ask them for their input on final rounds. This may depend on application volume and quality in prior rounds, which I cannot comment on. Good luck!
