what makes u think that these colleges are Europe - 20 to 50? any references?

I believe these are all top 10 colleges and GMAT 620 is a bit tough.

Plus at these times, u really think it makes sense to not to go to top colleges?

expect ur reply...

As for your first query Ankur, I got these from FT financial ranking 2008.

And for your second query , do you think ranking and placement go hand in hand .Placement largely depends on the corporate relations of the School,its alumni base and its placement services and all the above
schools do have these.
Moreover all the top 10 colleges are mostly in USA, the economy of which has been hit badly.Europe and Asia are relatively less affected by the crisis.Hence after the MBA, i think you have got a better chance to get a decent job in Europe rather than in USA , if things are still gloomy.
Besides , the ROI from these schools are quite good.

As for my low GMAT score, i am pinning my hope on my essays to make up for it.

Thanks
