Hey dude, Thanks for the extra info!

So I think your auto-evlauation is about right. Schools ranked about 15-30 should be your sweet spot. You come from a good well-known school, even if it's a step below IIT. Have work in a good firm, with some sort of leadership experience, even if it is not managing a team, and as a bonus some real on the ground international experience (schools will LOVE this, so don't pass that story by).

Financial Aid is a tough one. It's hard to predict what the schools might or might not offer you. What I can say is that, whatever the case, the best thing for you to do, is still to go to the BEST school you can get into! The payoff is worth it, dude.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
