Need help with business school selection
Thu Feb 28, 2013 08:48 PM
Hi everyone

I am trying to finalize business schools I can still apply and get admitted for fall of 2013 session. My profile details are,

Gmat Score: 700
Tofel: 100

Education background: Very good academics background. Electronics and telecommunication engg from presstigious college in India. I was top 2 students in college. Been a merit student through out academics.

Work Exp: total of 2 years experience in financial industry as analyst and 1 year in BPO as maintenance engg.

Social profile: recommnadation/volunteer work not significant.

Prefer to be in Atlanta area and second choice is East coast of USA

Most important criteria: job possibility after gradution and low cost (living cost as well as overall program cost - if scholarships are available for top student..then that is preferred).

I was thinking about Goizueta@Emory, Cornell Johnson or Ross.

Can you also tell me what are the well known tier 2 / 3 colleges. I would like to apply atleast 2 / 3 of them as back up.

Thanks for the help,

Stanford and Harvard would be reach schools for this candidate - the average GMATs there are around 730, and admitted applicants tend to have about 4 years of experience.

at this point all the tier 1 schools are a reach because I have yet to apply anywhere and most of the tier 1 schools are already in round 4.

What I am looking for is a decent list of tier 2 schools which I have good shot at getting in even now. If anyone have the list or names, let me know.

Thanks

Because this candidate has little work experience their GMAT is not enough to get into a Tier One MBA - especially if they want to study outside India. They should look at the bottom of GMAT Tier Two and Tier Three.
