Hi,
I would like to do a full time 2 year MBA with a focus on general management. Following are the schools I am looking at for a Fall 2011 start are:

1)Darden
2)Columbia
3) Northwestern
4) Cornell
5) Suggest a safety school please

Following are my academic credentials
GMAT1 - Dec 2007: 690 (Q48 V 36) AWA 5.0
GMAT2 - Jul 2010 : 710 (Q50 V 35) (AWA: still waiting)

GPA: 3.24 - Top 10 Engineering college in US
Bachelors in Electrical Engineering


I am an Indian citizen living abroad (in US) for last 6 years. I did my bachelors in the US.

Work Experience:
Oil and gas industry in Houston. I joined a company which manufactures and services all kinds of oil machinery and tools which go on a rig. It is a fortune 500 company with 40000 employees in various countries.

First year with the company was a rotational program in which I worked in Houston for 9 months and China for 3 months.
Second year was all in Houston where I worked as Electrical engineer/project engineer on various subsea rig projects.

Career Goals
I want to change careers from engineering into strategic consulting short term. I am also targeting rotational programs at various energy companies for leadership roles.
My long term goal is to work in general management within energy/alternative energy.

Extracurricular activities
I have been a big brother (mentorship program) for the past 8 months, and will continue to do so for a year.
I was a teaching assistant as an undergraduate for an electrical engineering sophomore level lab.
Team member of a sponsorship committee which raised funds for a company organised charity softball tournament.

I would really appreciate advice on my profile and where to apply. Please do let me know. Thanks.
