Hi,
I am yet to give GMAT, i was just considering my chances first, if there are any. I am confident enough that i will get a good score in GMAT because i have already been preparing for CAT MBA exams for last 2 years.

Career Goals - My own Disruptive startup or a Business Development Profile in an MNC with a challenging role.

Thanks in advance

1) Is profile good for any of top 30 Mba colleges, if yes then what are the colleges i should aim for because i don't want to spend more than 40-50 k $ ( total for 2 years)? Top 30 should be realistic for you
2) can i get scholarships(full or atleast half)? Scholarships are really difficult to get and particularly for international students given most of the US donors will earmark them for US students, your profile has to be top-tier for this to even be a realistic consideration
3) what should i do more to make my profile more relevant? strong GMAT score, and a unique compelling application, and some strong school research with a focus on fit
4) Would a work ex(after my startup) of logisitcs and delivery or advertising more beneficial, if ultimately want to get into a Business Strategy and Development profile (post mba)? Not sure either one honestly would do much, advertising would diversify you against other Indian applicant however
5) Best colleges(ROI point of view and possible %age placement) for Business Devlepment profile? Not really one for that but the better ranked programs will offer the best opportunities in any industry
