I am damn confused about which country and college should i choose , India, somewhere in Asia, Europe or US ( Even thinking about New Zealand , Australia ). My basic concern is finances . I come from humble background and whether shelling out 50–60 lakhs is worth it . I need advice on that. Idea is to get and mba, get placed and settle in that country preferably
Below is my basic profile.

N.I.T. Nagpur ( Civil Engg 2011 batch : CPI 7.23 )
Science + Math’s Stream
GMAT (include Q/V breakdown and percentiles):
Total : 680
Q 50 V 31

No. of years of experience: 05 years ( Role Planning Manager )
Why do you want to do an MBA/Master’s? What are your short term career goals (immediately after graduating)?
I do believe that I am not getting the desired exposure. Hence doing MBA/ Masters would give me outlook towards life with what I am looking for.
I have keep interest in again learning business concepts.
I want to join great firms and do exciting job
I am good at analysing stuff. Hence Short term goal is to try new stuff, analyse and finally get into the career which excites me the most.
I do feel that Career in Consulting, Analytics & Operations are best suited to me.
I have keep interest in finding solutions to different problems and would like to continue with that.
I never liked core marketing, finance. However, the basic idea is necessary I guess so as to get an overall picture of business.
Along with all of above, I aspire for a work life balance

First of al manshularora.synergy1 I love your candor! This MBA admissions process can be very overwhelming and it IS a lot of money! So a few comments- first you will have to define the "stuff" in your applications! And do a little more research on programs- if cost is a big concern- I don'tsee a 680 being much of a scholarship contender in the US unless you dip into the 30-50 range MBA programs and even then I don't see the 680 being the one getting the fellowship. So unless you retake the test- I think there will be limited financial help in US. You may want to look more extensively in Asia. Keep in mind however that for top consulting positions that GMAT score tends to matter so you may want to revisit that GMAT regardless. But I think one thing you have going for you is a great sense of humor about the stresses of this process and for this I give you my 
of the day comment! And that will serve you well in all you do! Best of luck to you!
