Please Evaluate my profile for the mentioned colleges

Dear Abhishek,

Generally speaking, you are the best person to answer your questions for these schools as you know your profile best. Based on the limited information in your post, these are all possibilities for you and you have done a great job in dividing them between your reasonable (1st list) and reach (2nd list) options. Scholarship awards for any MBA program are very tough to receive, and often times will only cover a portion of tuition. Your scholarship opportunities, much like your chance of admission, will be best at schools where your profile is significantly above average, so more of your reasonable options.

It is tough to predict the ROI for any program as it will greatly depend on many factors in the future. Likewise, you are the greatest determinant for your job prospects, meaning the opportunities you will have will depend mostly on your efforts more so than where you go to school. It is important to do your research on what schools have strong ties to the industry you want to be in post-MBA, as well as a solid curriculum for the functional area you wish to pursue. I encourage you to do some additional research on these schools regarding their ties to the finance sector, finance and entrepreneurship curriculua, and career services offices. This information will greatly help you determine if the school will be helpful for you in pursuing your goals and thus having a better chance at a good ROI.

Good luck,
Lisa
