Hi Kanakshukrey,

AndyDufresne made some great points. Since you are on the younger side, a 2+2 program would make more sense for you, as most MBA programs recommend more than just one year of work experience. You also may find it helpful to reach out to some of the admissions consultants here on GMAT Club for some more specific advice.

I see that you are planning to take the GMAT in mid-December; are you also looking for advice on how to prepare for your exam? Have you already taken a diagnostic to get a baseline score? What is your score goal? You may find my article with more information regarding
how to score a 700+ on the GMAT helpful.

Feel free to reach out with any further questions.

Of course this something that can be debated, but if you are looking at top schools, you should consider some of the following:
Harvard Business School 2+2
Stanford GSB Deferred Enrollment
Yale SOM Silver Scholars Program
Chicago Booth Scholars Program
MIT
The Rutgers Future Leaders 2+2 program
The University of Buffalo 2+2
