Dear sk1,

Based on your GMAT, college GPA and amount of work experience, you are in a competitive range for any MBA program. To truly know if you are competitive, you will want to do some research into these programs and determine if the schools is a good match for you based on both your career goals and personality. All 4 programs recommended to you are top programs, but you are correct they are highly selective. I think it is possible you could gain admission to one if you have a strong, overall package and the school matches your needs. However, top MBA programs do not generally award large scholarship awards. So, if you are concerned about that, then you might want to target some schools that are not as selective, where you are an above average applicant and the program is a good match. Many of the Asian programs offer strong curricula in general management and consulting, as general management is the foundation of any core curriculum. I would suggest looking at the placement results to determine if companies you aspire to work for have hired from those schools in the past. Previous hires indicates a possible recruiting relationship and potential networking contact(s).

Good luck,
Lisa
