Hi. Thank you for your post. That is a very good question, since differentiating your app is the key... ESPECIALLY for people from India who are in the most competitive pool for top B schools.

As far as your question is concerned, I think the key factor was my essays, which I spent a lot of time on. I also had a high verbal score on the GMAT, showed public speaking prowess, and taught 3 students in my building for verbal SAT, as well as verbal in the GMAT. Being an Indian engineer, I think that the adcomm is most interested in your communication abilities and verbal skills.

Hope this answers your question.
