Hello All -
I gave my GMAT a couple of days ago and got a score of 720(Q50/V38). I need advice on the schools that I can apply to with my score and have a realistic chance of admission being an Indian applicant. Below is a brief on my profile:
Graduation: Mechanical Engineering(Passed out in 2013) - GPA: 3.5(according to WES)
Work Experience: 39 months in sales and marketing at ExxonMobil Corporation and currently working as an operations manager at NEED(Network for Economic and Entrepreneurship Development ; It's a non-profit organization based out of Lucknow, India)
Extra-Curriculars: school and college Football team, Squash and Swimming school teams ; Acted in and directed Choreos during college ; Part of organizing committee of a number of college fests and led the marketing team during a couple of fests.
Volunteer work: Part of a number of volunteer activities during college and work at EM(house building, teaching, roadshows etc).
Interest: Marketing and Strategy
I would like to apply to around 8-10 colleges. Would be grateful if someone can guide me regarding my prospects at the below schools(plus any others) so that I can shortlist accordingly:
Havard, Wharton, Columbia, Booth, Haas, Stern, Ross, Tuck, Sloan, LBS, INSEAD, Johnson, Anderson, Darden, Fuqua, Kenan Flagrer, Tepper
Thanks.

Hi there! Congrats on finishing up the GMAT. Your score is great -- not stellar given the applicant pool though so I think that will impact your range of schools. But I love the mix of large corporate + non-profit experience -- hopefully there is an interesting story to tell there! You also have a strong GPA and were very involved in undergrad too! It would be best if some of those extracurricular experiences were current, but if not, highlight the strong past involvement.
As for schools -- I think the top 10 or so in the US are going to be pretty tough for you (HBS, Wharton, Columbia, Booth, Sloan, maybe Haas / Tuck). I would narrow from that group to 1 or 2 that you are really drawn to and fit with your goals. I think schools like Stern, Johnson, Anderson, Fuqua, Kenan Flagler, Tepper are more your sweet spot. But again, that is a lot of schools so do your research and narrow in on the ones that fit best with your career priorities and personal preferences / values. The European programs - especially INSEAD - are shorter/more accelerated, so keep that in mind and make sure that type of experience is what you are looking for.
Feel free to check out our Insider's Guides (we publish them on many of the schools you are considering) to help with your school research: https://shop.mbamission.com/collections ... r-s-guides
Good luck!
