Hi vaibhavgoel85,

Thanks for writing in and congratulations on an excellent GMAT score. Given your strong academics and unique work experience, I think you can be in the competitive mix at any school. The key for you will be to write really strong essays that explore what you accomplished in the startup world and how that experience will help you succeed with your post-MBA goals. I advise you not to take this part lightly, as you have the resume on paper to be competitive anywhere, but you need to spell out the case as to why you would be a good match for these very competitive schools.

Best of luck!
