    Hi Mr. Global Graduate Scheme, Kristen from MBA Prep School here. As a former MIT Sloan adcom, I like a lot of what I see in your profile. Although you are a member of an oversaturated population within the MBA applicant pool (male Indian engineers), you have the credentials necessary to rise to the top.

    There is little doubt of your formidable accomplishments. Add to that your undergraduate education at a top five IIT, your 750 GMAT and the fact that you have achieved so much at a manufacturing firmā€“which naturally supplies fewer young professionals to MBA applicant poolsā€“and I would say LBS would be hardpressed to turn you away.
