Dear nandansingh,

You are applying to some fiercely competitive schools, and while you might get into one or more, it is always good to apply to at least one backup school. I would suggest applying to a school in the top 30-50 range as an alternative. You have some good work experience and appear to be a solid candidate. However, you will be compared against other Indian applicants who will look similar yet have higher GMAT scores.

Best of luck,
Lisa

Could you tell me the names of a few of them.
I want to go into consulting after my MBA. I want to do major in finance and marketing.
You have some good work experience and appear to be a solid candidate
Thanks!
