I may also apply in some outside top 10 but good supply chain focused schools such as Ross,and Tepper. Given I plan to start my own company in india in long term hence it make sense to move back post mba and understand local geographical challenges for the industry. Unfortunately outside M 7 schools recruiters don't consider other schools in the same league as ISB and IIM A/B.
I am running out on time. Your quick feedback on my choice of schools is greatly appreciated! Thank you for your suggestions and evaluation. Looking forward to see experts opinion
PS: Even though I have studied and working in US I will still fall under indian applicant bucket. Some of the top scholls mentioned are quite ambitious for me not just based on my profile but also from gmat perspective( usually an avg indian applicant gmat score is 20-30 points above school class avg). However I want to spend my time on essays rather than improving my score further.

Hi ag111,
Your professional experience isn’t common among Indian applicants, so that’s a positive for you. You’ve consistency in your professional experience and future goals. If your post-MBA goal is in India, just make sure that E-Commerce companies in India are hiring MBAs for those positions. The U.S. schools you’ve mentioned are challenging for most, and depending on the details of your professional experience and how well you convey them, you may have a chance. Indian schools will be relatively easier.

Thank you Anil for the feedback. Among ISB, IIM A and IIM B how would you rank them based on my goals and profile? Are IIM 1 Yr programs treated as high as their flagship 2 Yr PGP. I am referring from recruiters perspective(Just like IIT's M Tech are not considered in as high regard as B.Tech). Any other school you would like me to add in those school list?
Thanks again!
