Hey everyone, I need a little help here. I'm taking my GMAT next week and i'm still dwindling with my thoughts on the colleges I need to apply.
I don't want to go all out and apply to all of the top ones because just the applications are a pretty serious dent on the pocket. So it would be great if i could gather your thoughts here.
Based on the GMAT Prep mocks and Kaplan tests i've given I'm expecting ~720 which (+/- 20). [Got a 740 in GMAT Prep | I've been getting a 640 in Veritas tests but then i realized i had been leaving a few quant questions in the end for which i would've been penalized]. I am a Chartered accountant having been in the auto industry with Cummins for just above 36 months now. Strong academics (secured an AIR in CA finals)/ not that much too boast on the extra-curricular's but I do take pride on my analytical skills.Basically i'm looking for a sector change post MBA from finance & want to divulge into the world of consulting post an MBA. (the likes of BCG, McK, Bain etc.)
Having all this in mind here's my list of what what i think i can apply. SUGGESTIONS PLZ ::
1. ISB ; 2. Northwestern Univ: Kellog ; 3. Yale ; 4. NYU Stern ; 5. Duke : Fuqua ; 6. Oxford : Said (????) 7. HEC Paris
Chicago Booth , Haas, MIT Sloan follow but not sure if i'm getting too optimistic here ???
