REach schools to consider: Sloan or Cornell (Cornell is oft overlooked but is a top school)

Depending on where you want to work post MBA, you might look at the NY schools as well. REmember a school's posted GMAT average is only an average--80% range is much wider. Go to as good a school as you can--it will pay off down the road.

It all depends on how well you differentiate yourself in the essays and overall application package.

Hey varma3008,

Sorry for bothering u again and again and thanks for the reply

Response: Yes, all of the schools that have been discussed so far are possible. However, the key is to write SOLID essays that provide some valuable insight into who you are as a person. Additionally, visiting these schools - individually or check them out through an MBA event - and making yourself visible to the Admissions Committee along with a stellar interview is going to be critical.

Hope this helps! Smile
