Hello ClearAdmit,

I am looking to apply to a few top-tier general management schools in the US for the class of 2009. My my post MBA plans would be General management/strategy - I know this is a broad swath but I will firm up future plans in my essays.

- Indian, male age 32
- Undergrad and Masters degrees in Economics from top colleges in India. Undergrad GPA is approx 2.9/3.0. Masters 3.6
- GMAT 690, 91 % ile
- 8 years work experience with a relatively small firm. started as a trainee. presently manage a division, and am in the 2nd tier of decision making in my company. Middle management leadership projects - have made an impact on my organization
- Should be able to secure good recos from senior management at work
- Brief overseas assignments in the US and East Africa (6 months each)
- Extensive overseas travel and my work involves dealing with associates worldwide on a daily basis
- Community : Some during college, and 1-2 work sponsored programs that I have been involved in. Nothing above and beyond.
- Target schools : Darden, Fuqua, Yale SOM, Standford

Questions :
1. I would really appreciate your comments with regard to my profile, chances and fit. Also, are any of these schools here a reach for me?

2. I think my Graduate GPA should be good enough, but is my undergrad GPA going to be a hinderance?

3. Is the lack of work experience with a multinational i.e blue chip experience going to work against me?

Sorry if this has turned to be long, but I thought I d give you as much information as possible. I glad for any information that you d be able to provide.
