Reccomendations:

I am keen on studying MBA from the top schools in Europe. After graduating , I want to be non-profit sector. And want to expand the NPO that I am working in.
I have the following questions:
1. Does the work exp in NPO provide me an edge over the other Indian applicants to these schools ?
2. If 650 is not enough, will a score in a range 680-700 good ?
3. How to strengthen the point of needing an MBA at this point of time ?
4. Are the schools that I am targeting in my range? If not, what other schools will you suggest ?
Thanks in advance
