Re: IIM Indore PGP at UAE Campus Vs Top 25-40 B-schools in US

Hello,
I worked for about three and half years in the UAE, and did not hear about this, so obviously it is still fairly unknown. However, given the IIM brand, as well as the huge Indian population in the country, I think it could work out well within the next few years. I certainly feel that the average salary should be a lot higher MBA graduates - I think it is close to AED 20K for AUD and the other US/European schools who have opened campuses there. Regarding finance and business consulting, all the major consultancy firms have opened offices in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and they do recruit from the likes of AUD etc.
By the way, I think your GMAT score combined with your high GPA, is more than good enough for all those US schools you mentioned. If its not, then I am doomed because I have a lower score (640, Q46 V31) and am pretty much targeting the same range of schools.
In any case, wish you all the best.
