Hello,
My profile :
Indian, Male, 32
Work ex: Total 10+ years exp. (including 5 years in US) : 8 Years in IT Consulting and 2+ years of business management experience. Currently working in CIO office for a Swiss agro-chemical company offshore base.
GMAT: 710 (50Q 34V)
Undergraduate degree from a top 20 university in India. Engineering in IT - 72 % (First class with Honors)
Extra-Curricular: lot of activities since college days
Certification: PMP
Post MBA goal: Strategy at a Techno-business level, but I am open to explore new opportunities
I am targeting US business schools but since opportunity cost is hugh, I have to rely heavily on scholarships. Therefore, for my profile/career goals, I am looking for US business schools that could provide maximum scholarships (>50% -70%).
I am even ok with Tier 2/3 (Top 40) business schools as I will not target MC/IB (highly competitive areas) post-mba.
I would appreciate if you could suggest some schools that will fit with my priorities.
Thanks

Hello there !
That looks like a very good profile for any B-school.
And happy to see that you have realistic goals and clear priorities in terms of schools and ROI.
I think if you are okay with Tier 2 schools, you would have a great chance of scholarships. In Tier 1 schools also, it might be possible to
get some scholarships, a bit difficult but possible.
Some of the good schools with high percentage of scholarships are Rice University Jones ( more than 90% students), Kelley (more than 60%), UCLA (more than 60%), UNC (more than 35%), Emory (more than 50%) and Berkeley and McCombs are also in the range of 40 to 50% .
PS : the percentages are portion of students receiving some scholarship.
Rice also has significantly high portion of the tuition as average scholarship granted. Also, Kelley and Emory are quite high in the average amount as well.
Apart from the scholarship perspective, may be you need to evaluate schools more on the basis of potential fit, post MBA goals, location, your back ground, probability of success etc and also your liking for a school.
These were just some rough suggestions. Let me know if you have more questions !
Cheers !

Hi,
A question which is very relevant to the older applicant pool is- are you ready to spend two years doing an MBA at this age/stage of your life? Most American programs have a two year MBA, which has been designed for people with 4-8 years of work experience. People with more work experience do get in, but its never too easy.
Look at options in Europe, where b-schools are more benevolent to older applicants. Consider programs like the Sloan Fellowship program at LBS or MIT Sloan, which are designed for mid level managers.
