Prateek-
going outside the top 20 opens up all kinds of possibilities, so it would be difficult to help you narrow the focus without a discussion of your post MBA vision and why you wnat the MBA. Other things to consider are your desired learning style and where you want to end up working. Although b-schools have been known to discount family work experience, keep in mind that it can also be very valuable, since you likely had a peek into the decision making process behind major decisions and also likely touched several different aspects of the business, which is more than most can do from a desk job in a big corporation. I would say figure out exactly what you want to do and where you want to do it then use that data to help you narrow the field.
Thanks Bryant
