Work Experience:
I have with 2.8 years' experience. Presently (since Feb. 06), I am working with MNC, Pune, India as Assoc. Design officer and functioning as Team Lead, handling projects for International clients.
Have received ‘Best performer of the Year award’ from previous employer.
Have received ‘Valuable Contribution Award’ from current employer.
Why MBA?
· I need an advance career path in Operations / GM
· I think it will take too much time to crawl up to managerial position & as a technical person the growth will be limited.
· After completing MBA from good college there will be excellent opportunity to build an international career with substantial salary rise compared with my current status.
· I am targeting US as I have a chance of scholarship; the educational standard is excellent; post MBA jobs are fairly easy get hold of; getting work permit is not all that difficult.
Recommendations would be from my previous Employer and another from my immediate supervisors who have confidence and faith in me and they would be very compelling.
I have following Questions / Doubts:
1. Is my profile good enough for the top 15 schools?
2. In MBA which specialization would be beneficiary for me? I was thinking of General Management, Operations, would it be best suited for me?
3. In GMAT and TOEFL What should be my Score target?
4. I am not applying for next year (2008) and the only reason is I am targeting top 10 schools (I am passionate about Harvard). I want to be fully prepared in every aspect. I have 1.5 years to develop myself before applying for 2009. Considering I shall have over 4 years of Work experience while applying, how should I utilize this time effectively? Which are the areas in which I should develop myself?
5. Does working out from your home country is beneficial?
6. Can you please mention some top schools for Operations/ General management?
Thanks in advance...

Michigan, Virginia, and Duke are top GM programs where you might have a better chance than at HBS.
MIT, Carnegie-Mellon, Purdue and Michigan are top operations schools.

Thanks Paul for assistance, I really appreciate that. Could you please tell me,
1. I have come from village background and have strived hard to reach here. I have got full scholarship for my Engineering. I need some scholarship or assistantship to support my MBA as well. What should be my overall approach?
2. I have decided that I would choose Operations rather than GM. I have done my Masters will it help my application?
Thanks again.
