Hey Naren,

Int was standard, I thought.

Tell me about yrself, why mba,why boston, leadership,achievement, team role n such stuff. Only thing is that I had googled chris storer, my interviewer and did let him know this through one of my questions. N rest as I always believe is your share of luck.

Without it no matter what you do, n how good you are , you cannot make the cut

Hie...

I am sorry for a late reply...starting the thread and absconding...actualy am out of town n will write a detailed post on my selection.

The crux...a good score and a very unconventional profile did me in i think...

740/5.5
2 + experience scatterted over automation, army and training
Extra curriculars, very good
Lotsa community service
Essays, i think i could not have done a better job...atleast in terms of structure and content.

As I said, will type a detailed mail on the entire experience very soon...

Congrats prash..let's get in touch...will PM you shortly..

Congrats Prabhu .....

I think BU is a decent school and with scholarship, it makes it all the more attractive.

I am waiting for my Duke decision, but with no schols available at Duke, I am determined to take my plunge at the BU.

Naren, make your essay very objective and I believe only adcom members review your essays (mostly american) , try to talk about things which might seem to be insignificant by Indian standards but might be significant for an American viz people handling skills and the likes.

Hey Maximus!
Dude you specified that you had some training stuff in the Army.
I wanted to ask how you portrayed it in your essays. I being one
of the unlucky chaps to miss the authority of army because of a
medical problem. I joined IMA and was suggested to return back :(

Well its history. I am applying to B-schools for Fall-08. I have 3 years
of work ex by fall 08. I scored 690 :( in GMAT, have excellent Extra C and
intense community work. If I can add the army thing in, I guess
I can make a cut, and patch-up my low GMAT score.
Dude plz answer soon as the deadlines are running faster..
