Help me with choosing the best school [#permalink] New post 17 Sep 2011, 11:04
Kindly consider my profile for a quick evaluation:

GMAT: 640 (AWA: 5.0)
Graduation: Throughout Distinction all 8 Sems. of Electronics Engineering (Bombay University, India)
Excellent academic record till date.

Work Ex:
1) 10 Months in Accenture (IT) (Associate Software Engineer -- Didn't do much here. Tremendous IT Slowdown here)

2) 14 Months in a startup (Excellent experience here. Got to work directly on foreign client projects. Also, handled a really big Indian corporate attending meetings with CTOs and India Heads. Was a single POC for most projects)

3) Past 15 Months - Left my job to start a mobile marketing firm. Operated as a single consutant, with a small team to handle menial tasks. Revenues of over USD 150,000 in less than a single year. Got to partner with a leading Australian client. Currently working for Israel, UK and US based clients. Was also offered to setup an India office by the primary Australian client, which I refused citing I would like to maintain my firm's independence. The client also cited something about equity funding, M&A contracts etc. which I had no clue . Also, would like to understand how to scale up my business and hence felt a MBA (Entrepreneurship) could help me and gave the GMAT.. scoring 640.

My Questions:
1) My firm is marketing based, and considering my options, which MBA schools/courses will suit me the most? I am mostly thinking entrepreneurship with a blend of strategy/marketing courses, but would like help. Am a NEWBIE!

2) Anything which harms my profile currently and I can improve upon?

3) Chances of a scholarship?

FUTURE GOALS: Improve and polish my business skills. Interact with sharp business minds and interact with a smart international crowd. Settle, work and travel anywhere in Europe/US/Aus (Outside India) for the next 5 years.

Meanwhile my firm will continue to be managed in India, so I will keep generating revenues for the years to come.

What I strongly suggest you do is to spend some more time doing research on b-schools. Read through the various rankings publications as a start (US News, Businessweek, Financial Times, etc). Go through the websites at various schools, read through them thoroughly (there's a lot of info about the kinds of students that are there, career placement stats, etc.). And finally, go through the forums here and READ for a few hours or more, as there's a wealth of information posted here already. From there, a lot of the very basic stuff you'll become more informed about, and when you do decide to post questions on these forums, folks will be more willing to respond when they know you've already done some research and are more informed.
