Hi,

Thanks for your post. You have a very impressive background and profile. You appear to have accomplished quite a bit since the age of 18. However, each school has it's own policy on accepting applications from those still in undergrad. I strongly suggest before you begin your application that you pick up the phone and call the admissions office and explain your situation. You must get their approval before applying. In terms of selecting other schools, I highly suggest you call the admissions office at each school you are considering to find out their policy on applications from undergrads. This will help you narrow down your list as well as to be sure you aren't spending time on applications that won't be accepted.

Best,

Stacey

Hi,
Thanks Stacey for the prompt reply. Your words have bolstered my confidence. I have checked with INSEAD and London Business School, they can waive off this requirement for candidates with extraordinary professional achievements.
(this is also mentioned on their website in admissions requirements section)

what do you suggest now ?
