Hello Raj.

You have not given any details about your profile. I can suggest you schools based on your grades, scores, details about your work experience. Do you want to continue working with a software profile with higher remuneration or do you want to take up a managerial position at an IT company? An MS will do for the former but you will need an MBA if you want to go high up the ladder at your firm.

Carnegie Mellon - Tepper School of Business, MIT - Sloan School of Management and Stanford GSB offer the best MBA program for a concentration in IT. Your work experience is slightly higher than average at most of these schools. If you choose to apply to these schools, Make sure you have proper reasons for pursuing an MBA at this point in your career.


You can go through this article to get a better idea of preparing your profile for an MBA in IT https://www.interviewbay.com/blog/top-mb ... reer-in-it

Let me know if you have any doubts or questions.

All the best

Hello Jacob,

Does that mean 650 is not a competitive score?

Regards,
Raj
