  1. Thanks a lot, David..... Your reply really has boosted my spirits..... I'll get in touch with you once I start my APP process.... - Mayank
  2. Hi David, I would like to seek your advice to assess my chances of getting into a fair MBA program in USA. I will start by listing down key points about my profile. 1. Passed out from one of the best engineering colleges from India with a GPA of 3.79. Majored in Mechanical Engineering. Ranked 9th in Mumbai University out of 450 students. 2. Got recruited in one of topmost IT companies in India and worked at offshore (i.e. India) for 1 year on a GE project. Work profile was mostly programming. 3. Have been working at onshore at 'GE' for last two and a half years on [H1]B visa. Have been appraised among top 5% of employees in my company for all 4 years. Bagged Empoyee of the Year award for 2003 among 3000 emplyees.My work profile in US has been defined around managing an offshore team of 20 programmers and functional consulting about my application. I can say that it's more non-technical with more stress on people skills and/or management. 4. Took my GMAT last month with 720 (Q 49 V 39) . AWA 4.5 which was a little disappointing. 5. Have been an active member of CRY (Child Relief and You) which is an NP organization of India. Have been involved in 'Adopt a Child' programme to help children from underprivileged countries. 6. I am certified in Green Belt Six Sigma methodology with training in Process Management from GE . David, I am planning for the MBA starting Fall-2005 (Age 24 now). By that time, I would have 5 years of IT experience with some savings to go with. My one and only criteria is a non-expensive school with a good career prospect after graduation. I am more worried about my profile as I have changed my major from undergrad education to take a job in IT. I am keen on MBA in Finance/MIS with a longterm goal of IT Consultancy. Can you please advise whether or not I can get an admit from a good MBA program in US ? Where should I concentrate so that my application will look competitive in my pool ? To be honest I feel a little overwhelmed by other posts of people talking about only targetting Harvard and Kellogg. :o Your advice will be truely appreciated... Mayank
