Dear selvaganesh,

I think your profile is competitive for the 4 schools you listed. I'm not sure about scholarships from NUS or Nanyang, but know both ASU and UTD offer awards to a select group of admitted applicants that range in amount. Generally speaking, if you target schools where your GMAT is above average and where the curriculum makes sense for your post-MBA goals, then you will have a better shot at being admitted and at scholarship awards. Much like admissions decisions are based on a holistic evaluation of your application, scholarship decisions are also made in a similar way amongst the admitted student pool.

Good luck,
Lisa
