Dear Guapa,

I think you have the profile for your target schools; however, your decisions will depend on how strong your applications are beyond the GMAT and GPA. If you haven't already, you should probably ask for feedback from Kellogg and Duke regarding your previous application so that you can directly address their concerns in your new applications. It is imperative you present a strong rationale for business school and can explain how your past experience plus the MBA make your future career goals realistic. Finally, you want to find a way to positively distinguish yourself from the many other Indian engineers with IT experience.

Good luck,
Lisa
