Hi,

I am an Indian, female, currently working in a software major. My work experience so far is 2 yrs. Will be 3 years by the the time of joining a school. My projected GMAT scores are around 700. I have 89% in my high school and 83% in my 11th and 12th. My undergraduate gpa is 7.3 on a scale of 10. I am a part of the Corporate Social Responsibilites group in my company and have been a regular at all the charity events organised as an active volunteer. I am avid reader. Have actively participated in many extracurricular activities like : debating, skits, eloqution, poem recitals. Have also been on the editorial team of school and college magazines. I am looking to apply to schools in the US and ISB in India. As for MBA I want to specialize in HR or Marketing (more preference to HR). As of now all I know are the schools that are listed in the top 20-30 lists. And based on my practice tests I am getting 700. I dont know where to start my research. Any help from someone who is aware would be useful I would basically like a sample list of 5 universities( based on my profile info so far i.e gmat 700 and work ex 2 yrs) that I can atleast start researching on. Hope you can help. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your post. Since you are still in research mode, I recommend looking at programs at Haas, Kellogg, Ross, Duke and Stern. Most top 20 MBA programs have great marketing courses, but not many specialize in HR. If HR is what you really want to do, I suggest you look into applying to graduate degree in HR management rather than an MBA.

Best,

Stacey
