Hello Guys!
I have started applying to Tier-1 B-schools in USA for their MBA programs recently, I have 2 years of full-time work experience as a Senior Auditor with a Big4 and as well as a startup firm which runs into supply chain management solutions. With a GMAT of 770 and with a CGPA of 3.74/4 from a top 5 Commerce college (background in International business and Finance) in India and with few research projects and certifications like CPA, CMA, CFA L1 cleared will it be a better chance to crack into a top tier-1 or a tier-2 MBA school in US? and with few extra curricular like being a National athlete and volunteering in Social & Charity organisations.
Reasons to choose MBA -
# As am planning to expand my entrepreneurial venture further, am stuck with various questions and problems like how to face them and so on. Most of the people who work in the related industries have mentioned/suggested me to take up a MBA which can help me network further and to have a better clarity of what I want to do further with my own idea or to resort to a next better solution.
Post MBA Goals - Work on my supply chain idea further to expand its links and services.
Q1. Will I be able to get into a Tier-1 MBA school in USA? and will I be able to get any scholarships?
Q2. If not Tier-1 will Tier-2 B-schools have a better career outgrowth, or if I insist to go for a job in a similar supply chain/Finance industry is it better?
Q3. If not USA at all - Which other B-schools outside US do I need to target, as ROI matters a lot!
Q4. Can I choose Australia (Melbourne, AGSM) or Canada (Rotman)? how well are they for Indian students with similar backgrounds?

Hi there and welcome to GMAT Club. You seem to have a good grasp of our ancient code principles for the text formatting. Commendable!
What is Tier 1? I don't know that I am familiar with that term or ever heard it used. I understand what it means but there is no definition of what Tier1 is. Is that Top 10?
You can't count on a scholarship for the top 10 programs.
Can you get in - it depends on your essays and your interviews. You can also check this tool: WAMC. It does not evaluate your essays but it gets as close as you can get to a numeric analysis.
Supply chain is a pretty non-sexy field that usually lesser ranked schools place into. If you are looking for a scholarship, you can apply to schools such as Broad and others and likely get a full ride right away. I am not sure if you want to get a degree from Sloan and then work in supply chain managing vendor contracts... maybe if that's your passion. You will definitely stand out. Most of the focus lately has been Tech PM (job growth) and Consulting.

1) While your certifications show your interest more towards accounting & finance domains, and your work experience in SCM may not be nearly enough (generally speaking), to show your passion/ value-add in your domain, it will be helpful to have the complete context before we can comment on your question.
2) Given your resume has good Extra-Curriculars, you will still need to demonstrate Leadership (not the same as Managerial positions).
3) Australian programs don't have the same reputation as the US, Canadian, European and even Asian programs, a lot may depend on your plans ahead.
