I am really surprised that you have been waitlisted. You have possibly done everything in you hands to show your love. But anyways, here are a few pointers: 1. Letter of support - from a student you've worked with or an alumni. 2. An email highlighting all the major updates at your work or community...

I read somewhere that the HBS 2+2 program focuses especially on young leaders. The most common applicants have relevant campus leadership experience. They play an active role and always take initiatives. Do you have any such experience?

Its extremely difficult to tell you how good of a chance you have against all these schools. But i can safely say that there is nothing in your profile that will prevent you from getting into these schools ;). But if you want to shortlist schools, i would suggest you to briefly provide your reasons ...

Hi Amit,
I would say you have a good score there. Just work on the essays and put your best foot forward. I think with you score and you work experience you have a very good shot at these schools.
P.S. P/T at NYU is the best man!!

Sorry to hear about your GMAT experience. But i don't think requesting for a second interview to explain to them your gmat situation is going to be a total bummer for you. If you have written a convincing email stating the reason why you want a second interview, then you need not worry. The worst th...

The only thing that i can say is that you need not convert your scores to US GPA. This is because there is no specific way to convert percentages to GPAs. I also understand the concern for lower scores at some universities. But i guess the best thing to do would be to explain your situation in your ...

This is a question that probably no one will be able to answer simply because the algorithm or the formula used to calculate score is unknown! Only the folks at GMAC would have answers for this and I'm sure they will not be keen on revealing it.
Anyways moving this to "GMAT Strategy".
