Hi Ritika,

School selection depends on a variety of factors in addition to your GMAT score and GPA such as post-MBA career goals, cultural fit with the school, etc. A great place to start is to go down the rankings and see where your stats are within range. Then you can start researching each individual program in more detail and determining which is a good match for your professional and personal objectives. In the US, when you're looking at programs outside the top 30, the schools become more regional in focus. So for you, that would involve thinking about where you would want to live and work after graduation. Then you can find MBA programs within that geography or schools that have a recruiting history with your target employer(s). However, if you're targeting some of the more competitive programs, I would suggest trying to get your GMAT score up closer to 700.

I hope that helps!

Best,
Melody
