Universities to apply?? [#permalink]
 22 Dec 2005, 06:59
Hi Linda,
Please go through my profile and do let me know which universities i can target in the US
Age : 26
GMAt : 640 ( 44 Q, 33 V)
I currently have 3.5 yrs work experience - 3 years at AOL, in the call center industry. I was a team leader for the last year and a half. I turned entrepreneur in Jan of 05 and joined my company full time (a placement consultancy firm) in August. My performance in my Engineering (telecommunications) is not that great. (got 63%).
Would like to take up finance, so that i can switch industry . ROI and cost are important criteria for me. Do suggest the stretch and safe schools
Thanks

Do suggest the stretch and safe schools Thanks Look in to Rochester, Indiana, UT Austin, and Georgetown. You have a competitive profiel for the first two. Georgetown and UT are slight stretches.
Good luck!

Thank you for your response, and wishes...
During my initial search, i had shortlisted Unc Chapel hill and texas A& M as a stretch, Wake forest and Vanderbilt as safe..
What do you think about these unis?

Good luck! UNC is a good option, although your GMAT might give you trouble there. I don't know how strong Texas A&M, Wake Forest, or Vanderbilt are in finance so I really can't comment on them.
Good luck!

I would suggest Maryland too - its got a way better ROI than Georgetown and its ranked similar to Georgetown across the rankings..
Vanderbilt has a really good reputation for Finance although it has been dropping in general rankings recently.
