Bharath,

Thanks for your note. Based on your solid academics (top 10% of class/740 GMAT), your 4 years of work experience at Honeywell, and your artistic hobbies, you should be able to stand out from other IT consultants and be competitive at top schools.

While you have the raw materials to be competitive at Stanford and HBS, you would have a better chance of admission at top schools like Kellogg, Chicago, and MIT.

For all of these schools, you will need to have a strong story which you convey clearly in your applications. For example, what are your career goals? Why are you seeking an MBA? What makes you unique? Answering these questions should help you to formulate your overall story.

Sincerely,

Eliot Ingram
