mongolia,

You didn't give me much info, but based on your profile--which appears to be solid professionally, but weak in community--you are overshooting with Wharton, Harvard, Kellogg, MIT, Tuck, and Columbia. ISB, Darden, Duke, and Yale are more doable but you have to non-minor things working against you: lack of leadership outside of work and your profile ("Male Indian IT"), which is a very common one.

Hope this helps,

mongolia,

Given your entrepreneurship goals, you should consider the following (you'll probably be competitive at all of them): Babson (often ranked #1 in entrepreneurship), USC, Indiana, Texas, UNC, and Wisconsin. These are all strong schools.

I reject the idea that the only schools worth getting an MBA at are the top 10 schools. First, not all of the good business schools are as expensive at the top 10 schools; second, there are many schools outside the top 10 that are strong in particular fields or in particular geographic regions, so can earn good salaries at these schools right out of the program.

Good luck,

mongolia,

You need to significantly improve your leadership and impact at work and outside of work in order to break into the top 10. I don't have a lot of detail on your profile but your biggest issue will be standing out from the pack given your demographic as an applicant and leadership. The problem with waiting is you will start to move out of the typical age range B-schools admit. If you won't go to b-school unless you get into a top school, then, yes, wait and do everything you can to strengthen your profile (obviously your GMAT is fine).

Good luck,
