Hello,
My GMAT score is 560 Q 40 V 23 AWA 5.5 IR 3
TOEFL score is 111. Reading, writing, and speaking 27 each and 30 in listening
I was targeting Purdue Calumet for MBA. But it only provides evening course (which I did not know before, I always assumed it to be a full time course), meaning classes are held only once a week in the evening. Most of the students attending already have jobs, so getting a job from the campus is very tough. Although I know a couple of Indians who have gone there and secured jobs that pay 80 grand a year, but I have no idea about the rest of the class and I am not in touch with any of those people. Evening MBA might not be a bad thing, but knowing that securing a job is tough after MBA is really putting me off. The course fee is about 22 grand a year for 2 years.
If I apply to Purdue Krannert, I'll have to pay 22 grand a SEMESTER, which equates to 88 grand for the whole course, which I cannot do in any circumstances!
I know I have scored bad in GMAT (and I am assuming that a TOEFL score of 111 should offset it by at least a little bit), but if I want to start MBA in august session, I do not have enough time to retake it. There were a lot of things that went wrong on the test day and I am sure if I retake it with no extra preparation, I can still score a 580 or something. If I give it 2 months and prepare for verbal (SC and RC, which are the weakest links), I can maybe take it upto 650, maybe beyond. But, I am really hoping to start an MBA this august if I can.
I have 5 years of work experience with 3 different reputed IT companies in India. My undergrad is B.Tech. in computer science and engineering. I want to do an MBA in finance, but I am open to operations management and SCM also.
So, now I am researching more about the schools. I'd appreciate it if someone can give me names of schools in US/Canada that charge around 22 grand a year for MBA. Even cheaper would do or upto 25 grand a year would do.
If it turns out that the schools that fit the above criteria have exhausted the deadline for application, then I wont have an option other that taking GMAT again and applying next year.

If you want to study in the US, I STRONGLY suggest re-taking and applying next year. Krannert is a solid school, but you will have a tough time getting in. It sounds like you are still in the early stages of researching schools, and some extra time would do you well. You're moving to a new country and spending 2 years of your life (and most likely more then 25k a year, unless you get a few scholarships) you should probably figure out where you would want to apply and why. Feel free to send out an app of two if you still have time though... it'll be decent practice and you may hit the jackpot.

Highwyre, even if getting in in Krannert is difficult for me, I would not want to get in as the fee is too high (88K for the whole course!). It does not matter if I score 750. I still wont be able to afford it.
Can you help me in determining schools that are closer to 22K a year mark?
