Dear pagalmba,

I think your target school list needs to be revised. You have only highly selective schools on your list where your profile is within range, but your chances are low due to the volume of applications. I would suggest narrowing down this list to the 3-4 programs that are the best match for your career goals and add 2-3 schools where your chances will be better. Your profile is very common in the applicant pool, so it is crucial you find a way to stand out from the other Indian engineers with IT sector experience. Your GMAT score is below average for most of your target schools, and will be low relative to other applicants with a similar profile. Thus it is even more imperative you make a compelling case for your admission and demonstrate how you will add value to the class.

Best of luck,
Lisa
