Hey belagavi,
Based on your academic and work backgrounds, the universities you have shortlisted seem within reach. However, it would be wise to research the specific admission requirements and expectations of each university and make sure they align with your qualifications.
A GMAT score of 43 may not be competitive for some of these universities. It is recommended to target schools that have an average GMAT score in a similar range or lower and to focus on highlighting your work experience and achievements in your application materials.
Scholarships are generally awarded based on academic merit, financial need, and other factors such as leadership, research, and community involvement. It would be best to check each university's scholarship offerings and eligibility criteria. Some universities may offer merit-based scholarships, while others may have need-based financial aid programs.
It is difficult to determine "safe schools" without a complete understanding of your profile and what you are looking for in a university. However, you could consider universities that have lower admission standards and/or more flexible requirements, as well as schools with strong programs in information systems or engineering management. Finding safe schools for your profile would begin with researching universities that match your career goals and academic strengths.
If you need more help, we'd be happy to setup a call and give more pointers on how to improve your profile and the right schools you should target.
