Rohit unfortunately I can't advise that you apply to any of those schools round 3. Round 3 has the lowest acceptance rate because the fewest amount of seats are left over. It is really not a viable round to apply in, and it is only there for those who are very very diverse or have a very high GMAT. **it's like the schools are just sort of polishing their class at that point.** And it is the absolute kiss of death for someone who is over-represented, it's already difficult to get accepted as someone who is highly diverse but for someone who's Indian or Chinese absolutely forget it.
If you are completely determined to do this you might want to check out Poets & Quants Round 3 acceptance rate, Google that, I think there are a couple of schools like UNC that have better odds than others with regards to round 3.
But on the whole it is a really not going to be to your advantage you will not be able to apply to the bulk of schools.
I would urge you to go for Round 1 or round 2 INSEAD - actually at this point you would really need to have all of your time devoted to those essays of which there are many - so maybe look at around 2 but **no later** and to get your GRE in shape over the next 6 weeks. WAIT!!!, can't believe I forgot this but you actually cannot submit GRE for INSEAD so you would have to do a GMAT if you felt strongly about that school. They only accept alternative test if the GMAT is not available in your country. Plus, super long app. set aside 2+ months to devote to the essays the Essays, CV, rec stories ETC and I highly strongly guide you to get professional advice with that.
Places where you might be viable now and there is a January term for 2019 IE, HEC, Erasmus, IMD (?)
All at all I just don't think it is in the cards for you right now with US schools or INSEAD it might really be better off for you to just either get the GMAT sorted and go for INSEAD no later than round 2 for January batch or improve your GRE and go for Round 1 of this coming year US.
Round 3 is just going to divert your focus from all the energy that you could be spending to improve your profile so that you can come in strong with round one. It will just get you rejected faster. Waste of time, money.
With regards to your question about which schools you should apply to, in my opinion there's no point in going to schools that are going to give you the scholarship if they will not help you get a better paying job. Those two variables move in different directions. Cheaper schools lower-ranked schools are simply not going to be as effective and help you get a job so think carefully ***about your goal and who you're trying to sell this degree to***
If they are interested in something from Carey then yeah and if you're absolutely completely sure about SCM, great, but you're pretty damn locked into SCM if you decide to go there and most people are not very secure sure about what they want to do and would like to have the option to investigate other areas. Which is why Ross is such a favorite of mine. I really emphasize that people have clear goals but it's just a great thing to go to school that has strengths in many area
So think about whether you're willing to gamble on working in the US or Canada or whatever couple years after getting your MBA to pay off loans. And I do realize the precariousness of that situation politically; hopefully that will be a thing of the past by the time you graduate. *praying hands*
Again I realize how difficult it might be financially but I would recommend that you do seek out some consulting to get proper guidance on all elements of the application, which is honestly not a strength of Indian nationals.
They tend to take it in a very aggressive and businesslike tone which is extremely ill-advised. There are just certain things that you need to do in order to secure success.
