Sid,

I suggest you apply to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Chicago Booth, and LBS. . You may be interested in MBA Admissions for Indian Applicants..

Please let us know if you would like help with your MBA application.
Best,
Linda


The programs I suggested are all strong in finance and they are strongly international. You have excellent stats, distinctive and impressive work experience, and good extras, so I thought you would be competitive. I realize these are tough schools to get into. However, considing your relative youth, I would say this year aim high. If you don't succeed try again the following year with lower ranked programs.

Regards,
Linda
