Can you please advise me on which schools to select and to which schools my below profile will be best suited.
My profile: Indian FEMALE

Toefl - not yet taken
Academic background:
Graduated from BITS -Pilani (one of the prestigious school in India- top 5) with GPA 3.6/4
Had around 90% in both 10th and +2 levels.
Work experience - 2 years completed in one of the multinational company. After completing one year in the company, started taking a second lead role in one of our team's biggest projects and also mentored few new joinees for the past one year or so.

Dear gmat.gt,
Your five schools are possibilities for you, assuming you put together a strong application package. Since these programs are all top 15 programs, I do encourage you to identify some other programs that are not as selective as these but are still a good match for you and your career goals. For tips on identifying potential programs, please read our sticky on school selection. For your best opportunity at scholarship awards, you will want to be seen as an above average applicant; thus applying to programs that are not as selective and where your profile is viewed as outstanding will be your best chance.
Good luck,
Lisa
