Any promotions at work or upcoming promotions?
What undergraduate did you go to and what was the GPA?
What do you want to do after B school?

With those answers, I can give more targeted recommendations. On the surface, those look like good school choices for you, but I may be able to suggest some additional reach schools based on those answers to give you a shot at higher ranked schools. Are you definitely applying this year?

Good luck

Hello there, you have a pretty good GMAT score and you are eligible to apply for some good B schools which can provide you with quality education and great exposure. There are various colleges which offers great management programmes which can provide you with a lot of global exposure as well as good opportunities for your future since you are looking for international institutes you could look for institutes in dubai,Singapore, Sydney, CANADA etc.

Hello, I have heard That students opt for these countries as it is easy to get into these countries as the visa procedures are not that rigid.

However important ranking is I will be investing a lot of money for my education and I hope that I will be able to recover the money that I spent during the course. I happened to check S.P JAIN GLOBAL’s website and I referred to their previous placements My parents are really impressed with the placements offered by SP JAIN GLOBAL and they feel this management programme is worth investing. You can refer to their website for more information

HI ,

Thank you for your response.
I had a promotion in March 2014. Not sure abt any upcoming promotions.
Wrt undergraduate , i did my engineering in Electronics and Communications at Vellore institute of Technology, which is a highly rated college in India.
My GPA was 8.82/10 and the highest in the branch was abt 9.25. I m not sure abt the scaled GPA out of 4.0 scale.
I have undertaken a few Project Management related activities which i can put across as a point to highlight as a differentiation factor.
My post graduation plan is to move into operations management side or may be take up business consulting. I still have to do a lot of introspection on this particular aspect.
I am definitely planning for Aug 2015 admit and I am not sure if i can afford higher ranked schools.

Please do suggest what college is safe and reach so that I can hope to get an admit.
