Do some research to see which schools in the top 40 are more "international student friendly" than others. This could be as simple as looking at % of international students over the past five years, and how it's trending. Also, if a school seems to be slipping in their international %, it could be an opportunity to help them get their number up again. Also, schools with a high international student body are clearly on board with the advantages of international diversity and may be more sympathetic towards your application. You give very few details about your background and work history, and as you point out, your GMAT and academics could use some improvement. you may consider taking a business statistics course or an accounting course prior to applying or at least before matriculating. Also make sure you demonstrate in your application that you are employable--either with an H1B Visa or in your home country. B-schools in the US want international applicants to 1) speak good English and 2) be employable. Let us know if we can be of help as you put things together.

Hi Bryant

Thank you For replying, and showing me the possiblities . Well As i meantion have 5.5 years of work experince mainly in IT Recruit consultantion and few months as a cabin crew as well.

Have done a diploma in aviation with GRADE A.

Apart from academics i am a certified trained Stage Actor and sportman (Cricket).

Well i am not sure about top 20 but really hope that i get some good univ's in 20 to 40 range. And as the univ from where i completed my Bachelor's was difficult to score high, as i mention 44% scale 100 with 75 percentile.

Hope You can tell me few good univ and pragrammes where i have chances.

Thanks

Chaw you might also check with Georgetown (McDonough). They are international applicant friendly and thanks to their proximity to the USPTO, they have a lot of entrepreneurs!
