alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1640 Make sure you target the first rounds, where you can. What was your undergrad degree? Your GPA appears to be very high?

Showing impact and growth at work will be very important, and appears evident. Are you also involved in activities outside of work, any additional hobbies and interests? This might be quite important for the best programs on your target list.

Also wondering if you should add 1-2 more M7 programs to your list?

grichmond Verified User. Likes Earned: 1184 GPA does indeed look pretty stunning - and unusual for India (if you studied there). Your work experience and subsequent goals make a ton of sense and should be compelling. I do worry that your GMAT, at 720, will be more average (or even below average) for some of your targets (especially as you are applying from an over-represented portion of the candidate pool). Have you taken the test more than once?
