Hello everyone,
I have a big dilemma and am hoping to get some help deciding what to do,
Here is my Profile:
31 M Indian (citizen) / Canadian (PR)
6 years WE mostly in Drilling Engineering at a multinational E&P OG company in Canada and 1 year in US
Gmat 730
Education - Undergrad Chemical ( Andhra Uni - 77% ) ; Grad ( U Calgary - 3.7 )
ST Goal: Consulting - Energy ( O&G LDP if I get lucky
)
Location Preference - None (Easy with NA or Europe)
Program preference - very slight preference to 1 year MBA (with internship)
I applied to Insead and might apply to IE/IESE/IMD in Europe (decided against LBS R4 - no scholarship
)
My dilemma is whether to apply to US business schools in R3 ??
I know my chances are low since I am an international aplicant in over-represented category (slight advantage with Energy background and Canadian / US experience)
Also, I am discouraged to apply to US schools given the current political situation which is hostile to internationals
Should I just stick with European B-schools?
If I do decide to apply, which category schools should I focus on, given that it is R3?
My top choices before I took the Gmat were UCLA/ Texas / Rice / Foster (given my energy background)
Now my friends here are pushing me to aim big and apply to Top 10 schools even though it is R3 - reasoning being if I get into a top school, companies would have better motivation to sponsor visa
Any advice would be a huge help to make this call

So, I decided to split it up.
Went with Insead and IE in Europe / UCLA and Stanford in USA
Decided against texas schools as many alumni said it near-impossible to get sponsorship to energy jobs.
Applying to Stanford even though I know its a long shot coz I think it would be a great fit if I get in.
Anyways, thought I would update just in case anyone else is in the same boat.

Thanks for posting. Agree with your views on chances at UCLA and Stanford.
In addition to INSEAD and IESE, you may also like to consider LBS, IMD, Cambridge, and Oxford (Said), if you did not already.
