Hi Team,
Hope you are doing well!
Having applied for fall 2014 already, I wanted some school suggestions for fresh applications this year. Given that my GMAT was taken in Nov 13, I couldn't apply anywhere in Round 1
Anyhow, quick profile snapshot is as below:
GMAT
730 (Q-51, V-40, AWA-5, IR-2)
Work Experience
Duration: 4 years by June 2015
Designation: Lead Business Analyst (June 2013: till date), earlier Business Analyst (June 2011-13), same organization
Industry: Digital Advertising Solutions
My role: Analytics/Online Portfolio Management
As of now I am leading 2 members to execute the campaign management business for whole of Europe.
Leadership Experience: Leading the recruitment and training processes of team. Worked as the Task Force – Group Leader for Recruitment at Organizational Level. Led the video optimization team and helped initiate varied improvements in existing system
Extra Co-Curricular Activities: Event Organizer Debate Event at College, Table Tennis Team Member: School (Captain), Department (Captain), College and Organization. Active volunteer for organizational NGO: Parichay, Active Stock Market Investor, Active Blogger (in the process of building own site)
Short Term and Long Term Goals: Get into the field of Digital Marketing and Analytics and with requisite experience start my own business
Some Personal Preferences
1) Looking for decent brand but scholarship friendly schools
2) Schools which offer loans without a US cosigner
Many Thanks in Advance
Hope you are doing well!

Hi there,
Thanks for posting, and sorry to hear your prior applications did not work out as hoped. Based solely on the info provided here, it looks like you've got a good start, in terms of a great GMAT, some solid work experience with some specific leadership roles and examples, career goals that fit with your prior experiences, extracurricular involvement.
In terms of re-applying, if you re-apply to any of the same schools, be sure you really focus on what has changed since last time, and on presenting yourself and your strengths in a new light. Be sure you redo all essays and that you really research each school to demonstrate a good fit with the program. In general, in terms of what you could improve on from last time, it's tough without viewing your full apps (and we do offer a through ding review and re-application strategy package, if ever interested), but I don't have info on your academics here; and perhaps the essays didn't make quite the impact they could have-- that is where the school is really getting to know YOU! I would also be careful about how you detail your career goals and your reasoning behind WHY you need the MBA... make sure it's clear that you do need the degree to reach those next career steps, and in terms of your own business if that is your longer term goal, be sure it's realistic and thoroughly thought-out if possible.
As far as schools, there are many factors to consider. Perhaps you want to research Duke, Darden, Kenan-Flagler, Anderson, even NYU? In terms of the loans and co-signors, the best advice is to check directly with each school as policies can and do change, but there are also many threads on GMAT club over the years about that topic so you could search here as well.
Good luck and keep us posted!
