I am a Mechanical Engineer (Honors) with 71% in my UG. Decent extra curricular activities (actively involved with a NGO)

I have 4+ years of diversified work experience in the field of Finance (Quant based algorithmic trading firm)and HVAC (air conditioning industry). Currently working in the field of Finance.
I have a family business and have to return at some point to my home country to handle the business. I am looking for an Mba with a focus on International exposure and entrepreneurship skills.

10 th 87%
12 th 73%

Do i stand a chance in Schulich or sauder's. I am open to doing my Mba from not well known colleges such as Copenhagen business school. Please suggest some good colleges that suit my profile.

Hi,

Based on your profile I can suggest you to target b-schools known for entrepreneurship like Babson college - Olin, Tulane University - Freeman, IE B-school, You can also consider some stretch schools like Imperial college b-school and University of Cambridge - Judge.

For Sauder you have fair chance as the average GMAT is around 640. Schulich will be little stretch for you as the average GMAT is around 660. Suggest you to focus on the positive aspects of your profile and you need to highlight on involvement in family business as your post MBA career goal and diversity in profile in your essays. Let me know if you have any questions happy to help...

As a rough rule-of-thumb add 40 points to the school's average GMAT score for the average GMAT score of Indian applicants. So, given your target schools have an average GMAT score higher than your own, I would recommend you retake the test or you might have to consider less selective schools with average GMAT scores around 600.

Good luck,
