Please guide me, which college should i target ?
I think it completely depends on what you want to do after MBA and the basic motivation behind doing an MBA. If u've got that out of the way, and a good GMAT, i think you can give a shot at the best colleges. Then ofcourse, always think about your school selection list in various categories to maximise chances of selection! _________________
