(You can add all other common aspects that you'll find in any Indian IT guy's profile

Now,My primary interest is in Marketing. But there is a huge gap between what I do now and what I want to do in future. Moreover, I do not want to sacrifice 4yrs of work experience either (honestly I don’t hate the work I do now. It's just that I have bigger goals). This is where I found MBA in Business Analytics to be a very comfortable choice for me. The schools provide a good mix of Business Intelligence, Business Analytics and Marketing in their curriculum. It'll help me target good Market Research Analyst jobs. But I fear that these schools would be out of my target range.
Stern, Tepper, Mccombs, Kelley and Notre Dame offer Business Analytics concentration.
1. Are there few 'safe' schools which offer Business Analytics concentration?
2. Where should I be targeting? Top 20-30? I have no clue 
3. Do u see any teeeeny bit of information in my profile that I can exploit and use to set myself apart from my crowded applicant pool?Again, I would appreciate it if u could help me find some direction.
Thanks!
