Ms. Indian Banker

So you have very strong academic bonafides, due to the high grades you achieved during your undergraduate studies and your 740 GMAT score, that immediately make you a solid candidate. Add to that, your impressive work experience at a Fortune 500 global bank, with a move to London from India, and your stellar extras and you are an applicant that will definitely get an interview at Booth. Your post-MBA goal makes sense and very much feels like it would be something of a linear progression from where you are at now. If you can impress Booth at your interview and have strong recommendations, I see little reason for the school to turn you away. I also think you’ll experience success at at least several of your other targets, assuming you execute well on the applications. The one drawback, as you no doubt know, is that there are a lot of Indian candidates in the pools of the schools you’ve chosen so the competition there is pretty tough. It’s possible that Booth might find other Indian women with similar backgrounds that it simply likes more than you. I hope not but that is the reality of elite MBA admissions. Good luck to you.
