In general I need your comments on my profile and also timing and the schools to target. In specific, if you can, please answer to my below concerns.
1. Should you think I should wait to get my MBA?
2. As of now, I have short listed schools like SDA Bacconi (Italy), Rotman (Canada), Sauder (British Columbia), Carlson ( Minnesota)? All of these schools, I know are good but not even near TOP 20 globally. Do you think if I work on my profile and put my best foot forward during applications, I can start targeting top 20 global B-schools?
3. Can you please suggest some schools which may suit my profile?
Thanks in advance.
