Hello!
I intend to apply for Fall 2016 and would really appreciate some advice! First, some details:
Gender: Female
Nationality: Indian
Age: 26
GMAT: 710(48Q, 40V)
Undergraduate Degree: B.Tech. in Civil Engineering from one of the top Non IIT colleges in India
Worked in one of the Big Four consulting firms for 2 years
Left job to pursue MBA in Marketing from one of the newer IIM's(I was a part of the third batch)
Graduated with 6.8 CGPA (out of 10)
Worked with an American FMCG firm for about 2 months, and then I got married.
I have since moved to US and I want to pursue another MBA in order to
a) give my career a boost. Current job opportunities for immigrants are in the IT sector, and I do not want to work there.
b) get a better understanding of the American marketplace and get a job that appreciates my capabilities
Extra Curriculars:
1. Was published in a compilation book in which I interviewed an entrepreneur and wrote his life story
2. Actively organized college festivals in both levels
3. Worked on the PR team in MBA college
Aiming for:
1. UT Austin McCombs
2. Tepper
3. Penn State Smeal
4. Kenan Flagler
5. NYU Stern
My main question is, how hard will it be getting into the above mentioned colleges as this is going to be my second MBA? What are my chances of receiving a scholarship?
Thanks in advance!

The two biggest issues you will need to overcome is the rationale for the second MBA (make sure to explain this in the optional essay) and to address your professional growth since your first MBA. Also, use the time prior to application to really focus on a legitimate professional goal you would like to pursue, rather than explain the MBA will allow you entry to the us marketplace. Your school choices appear realistic. cheers, Alex
