Hi Jon,
I had a broad smile on my face when I read the first 2 line of your comment. I was hoping( against hope) that you will continue this momentum and will end up recommending 3-4 top 15 b schools suitable to my profile to apply to.
But sadly your following para shattered all such hopes and brought me face to face with the ground reality.
Yes I belong to the highly competitive pool of Indian applicants ( story of most of the Indians through out their life...![:(]( "Sad")
) and being a mechanical engineer doesn't help much.
But there is question that comes to my mind whenever I see someone posting " Highly Competitive pool of Indian applicants"
As per GMAT stats round 30,000 Indians give GMAT in a year and the percentage (and number as well) of scores sent by Indian to US university has gone down by 13%. In comparison, roughly 60,000 Chinese give GMAT and the percentage reporting there scores to US has gone up by more than 20%. Also the average GMAT of Chinese people is 15-20 points higher than that of Indian.
But still I haven't yet come across any such post referring to the pool of highly competitive Chinese applicants. If its tough to get into a good b school being an Indian then it should have been almost impossible to get into top b school being a Chinese.
Can you please explain this discrepancy...
Thanks
