What are my chances ?

Hi,
Please do let me know how I stand in terms of my stats and strategy.

Here are my stats

Undergrad - Computer Science from India, GPA - Not sure but I'm guessing its below 3.

Grad - Computer Science from USC, GPA - 3.31

Work Exp - 9 years of IT experience with increasing responsibilities, have worked in the US for around 6 years on some very interesting and unique projects like the systems merger of Golden West with Wachovia bank. Solid leadership and mgmt skills, have experience leading multiple teams varying from 5 to 25 ppl.

Reason for MBA - Currently at a stage where I'm seeing myself in roles which require business knowledge and strategy in addition to my technical background.

GMAT - Targetting 700+

I am planning to apply to 4 top 10 schools in round 1 , and then to schools in the 10-20 in round two as back up. How do you rate my chances with such a strategy keeping in mind my profile. Are the top 10 schools a realistic target ?

Thanks,

Charan

Dear Charan,

Without knowing your GMAT score and more detailed information on your background, it is hard to comment on how competitive your profile is for a top 10 school. You have a professional background that is over-represented in the global MBA applicant pool, so it will be important for you to offer a compelling reason to admit you to the program over similar candidates. Likewise, you want to have an above average GMAT score to strengthen your application. If you do score over a 720 and believe your essays, recommendations and interviews will set you apart, then you have a chance at a top 10. I would encourage you to spend time researching schools in the top 40 though--I think you will find many great options and not many significant differences in terms of quality.

Good luck,
Lisa
