Dear amehla,

Since admissions is not an exact science, it is impossible to quantify your chances at any program. Generally speaking, you have a competitive profile for most MBA programs, albeit a similar profile to a large number of people in the global MBA applicant pool. As such, you will need to find a way to positively distinguish yourself from the many other Indian, IT engineers with 700+ GMAT scores and strong undergraduate records. Your school list is appropriate with a good mix of reach and reasonable schools, with Stern, Cornell, Chicago, Duke, and INSEAD being the reach programs. ISB, Ivey, and Rotman are probably closer to reasonable for you.

Good luck,
Lisa
