Hi Aditya,
Well you have quite a mix, and a long list, of schools included there. Your biggest stretches as you likely know are INSEAD, HEC, and Ross in that order most likely. The others will be more reasonable. So you may want to apply to a few from various competitive levels.
Keep in mind that your decision will be based upon many factors. Dig deep and brainstorm on what makes YOU unique... b-school admissions decisions are made holistically... it's not just based on grades or facts or stats, but on a holistic picture of the applicant and what they'll contribute to the program, who they are as a person. That is primarily evidenced through your ESSAYS, fyi!! (And interview if you get to that point.) Elements you need to convey in your application for a chance at a top rated program include:
-what past experiences and skills will benefit you in the classroom, and later in your career
-what key traits and experiences make you UNIQUE; basically, 'why YOU??' vs other applicants
-why you want the MBA, with clear short term and long term post-MBA goals
-why NOW
-why that specific school is right for you
If you lack any of the above components, you risk that another well or similarly-qualified applicant who includes all of those, will wind up getting accepted over you!

HI jenK,
Many thanks for taking your time out and providing a helpful response.
My main ambition is to enter entrepreneurship after having 8-10 years of work experience post my MBA.
As I mentioned in my profile that I am already running a business of Fuel Gel since 2011, I would like to take it further while adding some areas to my Business lines. The Fuel Gel Business is unique in itself and I started along side my job as an alternate source of Income.
I am a Civil Engineer by Profession and wish to Start a Construction Firm. The prime requisite of making an established contact database is already complete to some extent as I m having more than 150 subcontractors who know me very well. Gammon India, L&T and Simplex Infra to name a few.
I feel this is right juncture of my life at which I should go for an MBA and work on a managerial level position to understand the other aspects of business like Financial Acumen, Strategy Decisions etc.
INSEAD although a stretch, focuses a lot on Entrepreneurship. Can you give me a few tips to help me for the same particularly. Without question, I will be working hard on my essays and will be submitting the best possible application.
Regards,
Aditya Thapar
