Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 5%

Mr. Product Owner – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera here from Stratus. I spent 10 years reading applications at Duke Fuqua, about 5 of those specifically reviewing Indian applicants.

Your soft undergrad GPA coupled with a sub-par GMAT are pretty much a non-starter. I suggest that you retake the GMAT or consider switching to the GRE or EA.

Your work experience is impressive. However, with 8+ years work experience, you are well beyond the average and outside of the 80% range for the class. You will need to explain why NOW is the right time for you to pursue an MBA.
