Anon Likes Earned: 0 11 is a lot of programs, and might make it tough to apply effectively to all of them. You are also part of a very competitive pool, so targeting the first rounds will be important. If you could boost your GMAT, that might help too. (0)

@Stan Likes Earned: 0 I agree with Anon. GMAT is light for an Indian applying to CBS, Tuck, MIT, Kellogg, Booth for sure...and potentially average/below average at some of the others...which could make for an uphill battle. Have you taken the test more than once? Any chance to boost? (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 I would recommend you limit ur applications to a total of 3 schools. You need create focus on each application, and having that large a number is a signal to adcom that ur just aiminig for the best, when you should be aiming for the schools that are the best fit for ur post-mba goals. Also, recommendation letters may vary from school to school, and ur recommenders may not give you a quality recommendation if they have to do 11 edits. Keep this in mind because recommendation letters are just as important as GMAT scores (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 11 is too many but you can do more than 3. I think about 6-8 is the sweet spot. (0)
