Hi David,
Thanks for all the feedbacks. I want to evaluate my chances in top 10 MBA programs.


Background
  • male - citizenship India
  • BS in EE from a reputed Indian university (REC), topped in my branch.
  • Did part time MS in EE from San Jose State Univ. GPA 3.97. Received excellence in academic award out of 12 branches.
  • GMAT 690 (1st attempt).
  • Work ex - 10 years (8 years US). Initially worked for big companies Motorola and IBM in lead roles and for last 4 years working in a startup involving consulting and pre-sale activities in semiconductor industry.
Extracurriculars:
  • Play Basketball and soccer. But just in company's team.
  • Other than that almost non-existant. From 2004-2006 was doing part time MS..
My main objective is to take my experience from semiconductor industry and start my own company.

Concern:
I am sure schools get tons of applications from similar background (Indian Engineer). Can my good GPA and experience give my application a "wow" factor. What more can I do to solidify my application.
