Hi,

 

Thanks for your response and feedback.Yes,my target program is a top US MBA..and my GPA is 3.5

(missed that in last post).

 

Please suggest top tier and few good tier 2 programs that fit my profile and my short-term and long-term

goals.

 

However,my concern is that my application would take some more time to complete.By the time it is ready,

most of the top tier schools' R1 deadline would surpass and I might end up applying in R2.Will it hurt my

chances , or will the adcoms look at my application irrespective of the date on which it reaches them..Please advise.

 

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

 

Regds,
