Hi Team,

Thanks for the forum.

I will need your suggestion to shortlist MBA colleges to where I should apply for the batch starting from Fall 2018.
I am planning to apply in round 1 itself. Can you suggest some colleges which suit my profile ?
Profile below :

GMAT - 710 (38V, 49Q) AWA-5, IR-6
India Male, Mechanical Engineer
College: NIT, Hamirpur
CGPI: 7.74
Work ex- 4 years till date in Procurement division (2 years in Indian automotive firm and 2 years in consulting)
Preferred location for MBA : US
Expense budget : Max 70 Lacs
Career goals : 4-5 years in consulting then shift to core strategy planning in operations/procurement. I am open to industries since i have seen procurement of many industries in my consulting role. I am open to all geographies post MBA

Thank You in advance.

Hi, and thanks for writing! All of the top US programs have strong relationships with consulting firms, so your choice of program should depend partially on:

- The school's culture: do you feel that it's a good fit for you professionally and personally? Researching the school as much as possible will help you determine this
- Class size: this can vary widely, from less than 200 to over 900. Consider whether you'd like a more intimate or a larger setting
- Geography: great that you're open here, but think about whether you'd be happiest at an urban, suburban, or rural environment - this can make a big difference

You have a solid GMAT score, but given the competitiveness of your demographic, if you're aiming for the Top 20 US schools, raising it by 20+ points could help your candidacy

Hope this helps a bit! If you want to talk about your profile in more depth, I recommend signing up for a free 30-min consultation here: https://www.mbamission.com/consult/?dis ... admissions
