3.Member of sponsorship cell of college sports festival. Gathered 100 thousand INR worth sponsorship for the festival. Also co-coordinator of an event in the college technical festival
4.Member of college news magazine run by students and trekking club
Applying for 2015 fall intake
Post MBA Goal: Higher consulting/Managerial role in market research sector
Target Schools: Any school where I can get some scholarship to offset the tuition fees. (I belong to a middle class Indian family and wish to return to my country and work, so I am short on the money I can invest)
I want to know for which schools would my profile be a fit. Also, I would prefer a lower rank school if I can manage some sort of partial/full scholarship to offset the tuition fees.
Thanks a lot!

You have a great profile with lots of leadership both inside and outside the workplace for someone your age. Your GMAT will be expected to be high in your applicant pool, but with a760, you will even impress within that already competitive pool. As a female engineer, you will stand out just like it appears you did in college. For this reason, I would say getting into just about any top school would be within reason. As for the scholarship/fellowship requirement, you are in a bit of a different boat. While your profile characteristics certiainly point towards financial assistance, your status as an international student will automatically cut many scholarships out of the mix. Scholarships are most often in place from gifts given by wealthy alumni of the schools, and most are US citizens who restrict the scholarship or fellowship to the same. There is certainly some discretionary money available at most schools, but it's far less than the greater scholarship pool. Your best bet is to do research on which schools grant the most amount of money to international students. If fellowships and scholarships are a strict requirement for you, I would look at some of the top European schools such as LBS, ESADE, SAID, INSEAD and IE. These schools even have scholarships for women only and will generally not have a citizenship requirement. For US schools, simply google your favorite schools with International Scholarships in the tag line and see what comes up. Looks like Darden may have some and I am sure other top schools do as well. You can also look at https://www.internationalscholarships.com to see if anything is of interest. Here is another good resource for international students seeking financial aid: www.topmba.com/blog/mba-scholarships-in ... l-students
