Dear varunbiyani,

Based on the limited information provided, I think you have the foundation for a competitive application to your target schools. However, you are apply with average numbers for these schools and have an over-represented profile in the MBA applicant pool. As such, your essays, recommendations, and interviews are critical to the ultimate decision. Be sure to convey your successful leadership and teamwork experiences in your essays as well as a solid rationale for getting your MBA in relation to your past experiences and future career goals. Finally, you might want to add 1-2 safety schools to your list. While you have a shot at one of your target schools, it is always good to have a backup plan.

Best of luck,
Lisa
