Hi Stacy,
Thanks for helping out the applicants on this forum. I gave my GMAT 2 months back and have read through a myriad of general material on admissions to US MBA programs, but I need help in determining the schools that I would be a good fit for. Can you please evaluate my profile and answer the questions I have? Thanks!

MBA Goal:
To move from an engineering to a Technology consulting role.
So here are some questions that I have:
1. What are the schools that I should target? I'm looking for US MBA schools, and some other top ranked schools across the world - INSEAD, LBS, ISB.
2. Do you think this is a competitive profile? I have 2.5 years of work ex right now and would have 3.5 by the time of Fall 2012 joining. Would having a MS degree compensate for that a bit?
thanks a ton!
