Q1. Any chance for below schools? If not please suggest some schools where I can apply.
LSB, HBS, INSEAD, Sloan, NYU, Stanford
Q2. I am also looking for scholarships. What are the chances of getting it with my GMAT score?
Q3. I can retake GMAT, please suggest if a score of 750+ would help and to what extend?
Hi,
HBS and Stanford could be an uphill task considering your age and your background - IT and Indian. Sloan and NYU are within reach and you can surely take chance.
LSB and INSEAD are great options - especially INSEAD. You must highlight your international exposure to its core to get into INSEAD
Why dont you take a look at IMD ?
Scholarship - How much scholarship are u looking for is a bigger Question - if you are looking for a substantial scholarship, then apply for a bit lower ranked school with strong essays. With top schools, scholarships are very rare - especially for profile like you.
The factor that schools consider while awarding scholarship are
1) Academic background
2) GMAT - if u think u can score something like 760+, then retake, this may help
3) Leadership
4) Most important - Extra Curricular - don't underestimate this
Hope this helps
Thanks
