Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Hi! If any of the consultants here could share their views on my profile and suggest some schools accordingly, it'd be really helpful.
Indian Applicant
2.5 Years of Sales & Business Development (heavy engineering, electronics, real estate)
4.5 Years of Co-founding & running a tech venture
710 GMAT (Q 45, V 41, IR 7, AWA 5.0)
109 TOEFL (educated in English all throughout though, so its really not required)
4 Years of voluntary Community Service (Before I started working)
Post-MBA - want to start up in the tech space
Can afford no more than 100K USD (Thus, looking for financial aid)
Looking at universities in the US
Another specific question: Should I apply to universities ranked beyond 25. I am unsure how it works when these schools offer you a scholarship and you have to deny at a later stage because you end up receiving a better offer / better school.

Hey dude,
I’d love to help you out but without more info it’s gonna be hard. Where do you work? What do you do? How quickly have you advanced? Do you have any leadership? What are your great achievements? Do you have notable community service or extra curriculars? Which school did you graduate from? What was your GPA?
Also your two work items need a lot more detail for me to understand how weak or strong they are:
2.5 Years of Sales & Business Development (heavy engineering, electronics, real estate)
4.5 Years of Co-founding & running a tech venture
and what are your goals? And how big is your venture? and did you get seed money? etc. etc.
If this is all too many questions, feel free to drop us a line here: https://bit.ly/mbafcGC
And we'll hook you up with someone to talk to.
Best,
JF

Once you answer the questions posted above, I could give you more specific advice. Your experiences sound really interesting. How old are you though? I see a lot of work there and I want to see how you compare to the average age at these schools.
My biggest question is about the size and scope of the tech venture. Revenue, employees? This will become important.
Email me if you want to discuss further. [email protected]
