[adm209]

Hi,
I am a final year mechanical and automation engineering student (female)from an above average university in India. Its IGIT (Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology), Guru Gobing Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi My university doest follow the gpa system but my percentage marks is around 74%. The topper has around 84%.
10th Board: 85%. 12th board: 84.6%.
My college extracurriculars are good- won a few debates, student council member, position holder in societies, have a couple of publications, scholarship holder, internship at GE.
I have scored 730 on the gmat.AWA: 5. I plan to take a 2-3 work experience in the automobile manufacturing sector in India plus do social service with an NGO simultaneosly and then apply to top 15 mba colleges in the US, ISB and Spjain(in India).
What are my chances of getting into top 15 US colleges after a couple of years?..I have admits from average Indian B-schools through CAT right now...should I forgo those an apply through GMAT to US colleges later?...And what is the conversion rule for convrting percentage into gpa?

Hi A -

Thanks for your post. As you probably know, its hard to gauge your candidacy into these MBA programs early in your career, as much of the decision is based on your WE, essays, LORs, interview performance.

One thing to think about - you are in one of the most competitive applicant pool - Indians with Engineering background. Therefore your biggest challenge is how to best differentiate yourself. What makes you different from the thousands of Indian applicants that will apply to the same schools with similar stats?

Regards,
