The school shortlist would be contingent on your test score, but from a prelim analysis you can add McCombs to your list since it does a pretty good job in roles relating to the O&G, Power and Energy industries. Even Kelley maybe a good bet given their strengths in Supply Chain and Ops, so quite a few roles in those functions in the MBA program. Honestly, general industry roles withing manufacturing tend to be scarce for international students given the challenges around immigration and visa sponsorships so companies tend to prefer domestic students for a lot of these roles. Since O&G, Power are national assests these companies are not open to international students, your best bet from a career standpoint would be to probably think about consulting and after spending a couple of years and getting past the H1B hurdle to think about a corporate role within the desired industry.
EU can be a good option for Energy work ex since there is a big pivot towards Clean Energy / Sustainability and hence multiple opportunities are opening up within the ecosystem. Traditional large players like Shell, BP, RWE, Total etc are heavily focusing on their clean energy shift and hence there are opportunities for MBA graduates to explore careers within these domains.

Hope that helps? Feel free to reach out at info@thembaedge.com | +918368000961 for any other queries and focus your efforts on getting a solid GMAT score.

All the best!

Hi and welcome to GMAT Club.

For Ross and Fuqua you are probably looking at 740+ or higher for your demo. Just FYI.

It is possible to take the GRE by the way but so far I am seeing a lot more $$ going towards GMAT scholarships. This may be just me 🤷‍♂️

Otherwise, good start for schools. I think maybe add Tepper or maybe Kelley on the lower safety end and depending on the score and profile, Kellogg is always a strong choice.

SCM is not a glorious area ao you don’t have to have a strong brand to get a job usually (though does not hurt). I would consider lower-ranked programs with scholarships. But you need a 700+ for that and the higher the better - you can save a lot of money by working really hard on your gmat 👍

Hello @MBAEdge and @bb,

Thank you for your reply. It took me some time to get here but I am finally done with GMAT and got 705.

Can you please suggest me recommendations based on updated profile? I don't want to go for lower-ranked program even with a scholarship, I want to get into a top reputed university M7 or T15, please let me know what are my chances?
