Avinash, If those two numbers can help answer the question you have asked, 100% of the applicants to HBS would probably know their chances even before applying. While GMAT and GPA is a part of the overall application process, they are not the one driving the results. How you performed at work, your ...

This is tricky. A bad recommendation is always going to raise some concerns and I am not sure how much deleting a recommender works AFTER the recommendation is submitted (if the recommender didnt have time, why did you not delete it before?) Adcom sees thousand of applications every year and they pr...

1. Irrespective of what you write in the application form, adcom is going to take your highest score. Moreover, adcom is anyways going to see the test score from last 5 years. Taking it twice and showing an improvement, well, you can't go wrong by putting both the scores. 2. What you describe can be...

Let's put it this way - What you studied and how you performed in your undergrad is going to matter more than where you studied. Yes, if you have an Ivy League pedigree, it will highlight the competitive process you have gone through, and successfully, for which you will get some points. However, th...

Rachita, Yes, your GMAT score is probably too low for the schools that you mentioned. It is particularly more difficult because you belong to Indian demographic with IT background. As far as ISB is considered anything less than a 700 is probably a little too tight. It would be worth giving another s...

This is something I've been thinking about lately. Is it right to tell a representative (during interviews, e-mails, phone calls) that their school is your first choice? That is only if it really is, of course. I have no problems telling the rep that their school is my first choice, but then it got...
