Hi yatish85,

When researching Business Schools, it helps if you have a definitive idea of what you want to do with your MBA once you earn it. Is there a particular field that you want to work in? Is there a particular company that you want to work for? Do you want to be an entrepreneur? Etc.

Once you define what you want your career path to be, THEN you can define what degree would be the best match. From your choices, it sounds like you're focusing on a particular area of the US, but it's possible that none of those schools is a match for what you want to do. Business schools are less likely to accept someone who will not benefit from the degree that the school offers, so you have to clearly define your goals and then see if your overall application is strong enough to apply to the schools that will forward your goals.

You might also consider re-taking the GMAT.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I have only one year of work experience in the field of marketing. I would like to pursue my MBA now but most courses need a lot work experience. Taking into consideration this limited work experience can anyone suggest me any good b-schools?

S P Jain School of global management offers the MGB course which is for people with limited or no work experience. It is a tri-city course which would give you a lot of exposure as well.
