Hi Alex,
I've been reading some of the profile evaluations you've done in this forum and your honest responses are very insightful. I'm curious to see mine.
Male/27/Indian
Education:
Undergrad - B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering (from a decent university in my state in India), 8.01(in a scale of 10).
Work Experience:
Full time - 3 years as a Software Engineer/Sr. Software Engineer/ IT Consultant. Since my graduation in 2006 I have been working Cognizant Technology Solutions, a leading IT firm based in USA, to the capacity of a Software Developer. In the course of my work I have taken various responsibilities such as software development, business and requirement analysis, client meetings, project estimation and mentoring.
I have single handedly executed projects by interacting directly with client. Been successful in convincing client about certain improvisations for their current applications.Received lot of accolades from client.
GMAT:
640: Q - 46 (76%), V - 31 (58%)
EC :
Completed basic level course in Japanese language.Participated in speech contest in Japanese. Got many awards in music competitions in state and current organisation.
Contribute to open source software communities. Train the new comers in various technologies in Cognizant academy.Have a few Certifications related to my work, but which I've pursued on my own.
Why MBA?
While working in software development I have grown a strong interest in business. I have been responsible for business requirement and analysis for projects. I have put in lot of effort to understand the specific and updated business requirements for the client. In the process I realized that concrete base in business knowledge is essential to properly understand different processes in any industry. Hence I would like to take up a high quality program which helps me build a strong platform from which I look forward to further launch my career. An MBA at this stage will give me a better insight to the overall business and help me achieve my long term goal.
Short-term goal: To get into Technology Management Consulting.
Long-term goal: Entrepreneurial venture in India with my better half.
Target Schools:
1) George Washington University
2) GRENOBLE – ECOLE, France
3) Tippie - IOWA
4) CIIM, Cyprus
5) Cass Business School, City University
6) Vlerick Leuven, Belgium
7) Wake Forest, Babcock
8) University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign
Do I stand a chance in these schools? What are my chances of getting an Assistantship/Scholarship in these schools?
Please suggest some courses where I can get a scholarship/assistantship.
Thanks,
Saggy

I'm not sure how you came up with that list of schools as it seems to be a random list of European and US programs, but based on your profile you should be competitive for those schools you listed (or any comparable schools within those tiers).
As for scholarships, forget it. First, b-school is a professional degree program, not your typical academic graduate program (MS or PhD). They cost a lot, and they expect you to pay the money for it. When they do give out scholarships, it's to attract folks from an underrepresented demographic (not Indians), and/or people with extraordinarily high GMAT scores relative to the school averages (i.e. a guy/gal who has a 770 GMAT applying to a school where the average is 600).
But if you're looking to get into a school that can get to your career goals, the schools you listed are fine -- you just have to find your own money or take out a student loan to make it happen.

Thanks very much for a quick response.I undersatnd your point about MBA scholarships.
Apart from scholarships there are Assistantships offered by lot of US B-schools.Is it possible to get those with my profile? Actually I need at least some funding;its not possible for me to pay the whole fee and sustain myself there.
May you please suggest me some(if at all there are some!!) schools where I have some chance to get schols/assistantship?
Thanks
